Prologue

Born from A Boom Box, a film by Luke Katcher

"Hey this is Luke,this is my film.Lemme ask you a couple questions"

Why do you dance?

"Because it's like breathing.Its like walking to me"

"I'm not pretending.When I dance I don't pretend"

"I'm more myself when I dance,and any other moment of the day."

"I dance is to become someone else"

"But uhh,so many things in this world that want to push down on you.But when you dance you are free"

"We started dancing at the age of seven..In our house,in the living room.Just dancing,dancing,copying uhh..Copying Micheal Jackson"

"...And I'm just like listening to music in the grocery store,just like dancing through the aisles and stuff like that and she's like 'contain yourself,calm down!' and I'm like 'I can't stop I have to do it I have to do it!' "

"After everyone went to sleep I would open the garage and just..Practice."

"That's pretty much when I knew,like I loved it because I never dedicated,umm..So much time and effort into something like that"

"It's not us just us jumping around" , "dance has vocabulary"

"Inglewood"

"I'm from Argentina"

"I'm from Northern Uganda"

"Miami,Florida"

"KoreaTown,Los Angeles"

"There's a lot of gangs and violence"

"I couldn't be stuck there all my life"

"My village was attacked."

"My parents didn't even want me around anymore"

"She actually kicked me out of the house"

"I had to go"

"Dance saved me"

"Dance definitely saved me"

"If it wasn't for dance,i don't know what we would be doing right now"

"I didn't have anything,I didn't have money.." , "I was leaving with 15.00$ a week,in New York City."

"Dance brought us together too..All around the world"

"Truth is,everybody is a dancer inside"

"We all have a heartbeat"

"We all have a rhythm in the inside"

"What's that one thing you say?" "Yea! What do you call us?!" "Born from a boom box?" "Yess!" "Yea! Born from a boom box" "That's pretty good."

"Born from a boom box"

"It sounds stupid.But I do feel like that.And if we listen harder enough,you realize that maybe we're all plugged in to the same song"
