Aypal after hours
It was 710pm, we’re already over time and there they were, a group of aypal youth having a cypher battle, hella funny and chill. Over there a small group of aypal hip hop dancers are fooling around and practicing. Then the mien dancers all on stage still practicing. Everyone with smiles and laughter. Back in my days once it was time to go, we was OUT, but these YLOs, they’re staying until the lights turn off and they’re having hella fun.
I love working with youth.
