Legends In The Making

LiTM is a unisex hip hop dance team that ranges from ages 6-21. The team is under one of the founders and Creative Director, Janèsa Richardson, Assistant Coach Alayna Henry, and Artistic Director Winter D. McCray. Around the world there are unisex dance teams and crews, such as the "lil beasts" and the "Royal Family Dance Crew," and as of 2015, Legends in the Making became the only official unisex hip hop competition and performance team in their age division, right here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The team focuses on traditional hip hop, like the styles displayed on hit shows such as America's Best Dance Crew.

They condition for anywhere from five to nine hours and practice once a week. They have placed in every competition they have entered, and took home first place trophies in every division in almost every competition, all in their first year. They have participated in a Performance Tour Week, traveling to Southeastern University in Hammond, Louisiana, to perform for My Kicks the Passion's Second Annual Sneaker Summit. They have performed for several college halftime shows, been featured on television and the news, performed for the Miss Black Louisiana USA Pageant, and even performed on a Carnival Cruise in 2018.

Even though they are a hip hop team, they are trained in everything. Their coach and past influences have a wide variety of training, from ballet to hip hop, African to ballroom, gymnastics to cheerleading, to Jamaican and more, so members are exposed to everything, including music editing and media. They are mentored about contracts, agencies, workshops, and more. Once a member finishes the entire program, they graduate to Alumni, where they choose to compete as an adult and become a prospect for Legends Elite, our collegiate team born from LiTM Alumni. Legends in the Making is more than a dance team. They are a true family.
