Fat Laces is an on-line magazine with the purpose of documenting the Hip Hop Street Dance Culture from a Canadian perspective. It will cover various styles of Street Dances such as Bboying, Popping, Locking & House. This site will also show the ties between various dances and disciplines that has its beginnings or influences from the streets such as Capoeira, Tap, and Salsa.<\/span><\/p>\n To help cultivate and promote Hip Hop culture and it dances in various communities throughout Canada, future plans for Fat Laces involves a yearly print magazine, sponsorship of street dance programs and event coverage along with other various projects. Stay tuned to Fat Laces and its ties to street dance culture from a Canadian perspective.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n …<\/span><\/p>\n The concept of Fat Laces has been in works by me Robin Coltez since the summer of 2007 and made official in February of 2008. The name Fat Laces was chosen because it was the first symbol of Hip Hop specifically Breaking that my twin brother Collin Coltez and I were introduced to in 1983 by our childhood friend and fellow crew member, Rod Oyco (B-Boy Chi Ko). This is when my passion for Hip Hop Culture and it\u2019s Street Dances began at the age of 9. Being a Canadian and a part of this culture for the last 28 years, starting with Breaking then partnering with my brother doing routine dancing in the mid 1980\u2019s to the early 1990\u2019s including dancing for UBIS which was rated as one of Canada\u2019s top 10 Hip Hop groups in 1993.<\/p>\nThe Concept<\/h2>\n
