“THE TESTAMENT is relevant and a must-see for everyone, in this writer’s view. Their storytelling carries through not only the dancing but the music, lyrics, and editing as well. Whether you are a dancer or not, you will be moved by how The Era Footwork Crew uses footwork to scream—BLACK LIVES MATTER!” - Sabrina Lee

“In what ways, do you think The Era can help further the conversation regarding Black Lives Matter?

I feel like we have to continue creating pieces like The Testament that reflect the realities around us. Create non-stop, produce until you can’t anymore because too often we feel as dancers we don’t have a voice, and in times like these, it causes your voice to be utilized even more than normal. It may be uncomfortable but we must act and speak to what’s happening around so we can be counted on, and play our part in the history happening right in front of us.”

“Last month, footwork fans got a chance to experience a unique interactive performance by local footwork collective, The Era, at a dance held at Links Hall on the South Side. Music boomed as it filled the room with beats known only to the art of footwork. Sneakers squeaked with every quick step while background videos told the unheard stories of the black sub-culture known as footwork in Chicago.” - Ro Coleman

“Footwork is a fast-paced style of dance and electronic music that was born on Chicago's West Side in the late 1990s. Today, footwork is a global phenomenon.” - Zach Ben-Amots (ABC 7 Chicago)
