After kids wrote their own poetry, they joined-up with a fellow student who created an improvised hip hop routine:

Blue

My name is Kristen A.K.A. Blue
You wanna see me dance I could show you some moves too.
I don’t play around when it comes to break dancing
I’m too fast for you I only stay on hands, man.
I’m the color of the sky and as fresh as the water.
I do what I do to make you say “OH!”

Student reads poetry to the improvised dancing of hip hop teacher Carlos:

Butterfly

People can’t catch me cause I
Fly high and I fly low
I can dance all around you and make you dizzy
All you’ll see are my colors as you stand in awe.
