Strictly Funk

Strictly Funk is an avant-garde fusion dance group at the University
of Pennsylvania. The troupe was formed in 1997 with the intention of
transcending traditional boundaries of dance and has been developing a
performance culture of its own ever since. This diverse company of 20+
members from all Penn undergraduate and graduate schools, as well as
the greater Philadelphia area, seeks to explore hip hop, jazz,
free-styling, lyrical, breaking, locking, and funk, while still
recognizing the personal styles of individual dancers. Each Funk show
features an overarching theme, of which all numbers aim to explore
from a different perspective. Shows run on a continuous soundtrack,
breaking only for intermission, while also incorporating elaborate
video and lighting.

A Strictly Funk production is not just a performance; it’s an experience.
