History & Vision
The Foot Klan Dance Troupe has been providing entertainment around the world for more than 17 years and is Arizona’s original hip hop group. This full-service group includes professional dancers, DJs, film extras, actors, models, up-and-coming rappers and singing artists. Foot Klan is a multi-member dance troupe that includes Mr. and Miss Soul Train Darryl Khalid and Luciana Khalid, who have studied the original styles of Hip Hop dance including “popping,” “locking,” “break dancing” and “House.”

Foot Klan’s mission is to unify communities through street dance and creative arts. By removing the negative stereotypes from the Hip Hop culture, Foot Klan can begin to heal the scars of racism, sexism and all discrimination and the social wounds of the world. Through a worldwide reconstruction of the present interpretations of Hip Hop, Foot Klan is generating a higher awareness of the impact that positive creativity has on an artistically aspiring community. The renaissance of Hip Hop is finally coming full circle, brought about by a much-needed change.


Foot Klan Jr. All-Stars
The Foot Klan Jr. All-Stars is a group of highly-talented and incredibly entertaining dancers ranging in age from 7 to 17. This group is the best of the youth dance talent from the metro Phoenix area.

The Foot Klan Jr. All-Stars are taught by the award-winning, internationally acclaimed Foot Klan dancers, including Mr. and Miss Soul Train Darryl Khalid and Luciana Khalid, as well as the 1999 World B-boy Champion Kasiem Khalid. When the two groups perform side-by-side, you will think you’re seeing double.

Since their formation in late 2006, the FK Juniors have performed at the MAGIC International Fashion Show in Las Vegas, the Arizona State Fair, the Phoenix Art Museum, The Tempe Festival of the Arts, The Phoenix Comicon, Glendale Glitters, and the Glendale Glitter & Glow BCS Block Party, as well as a Phoenix Children’s Hospital Benefit in front of crowds ranging in size from a several hundred to nearly 100,000.

Foot Klan and Foot Klan Juniors can perform for corporate shows, city festivals, as well as private parties and events.  For more information, visit www.footklan.com. For booking information contact Ken Reinstein at 480-634-4188 or ken@blue22pr.com.
