This documentary reveals some of the untold history of one of NYC's major urban dance forms, associated with Hip Hop, known as Rockin' (later referred to as Up-Rockin'). Part of my inspiration for producing, recording, editing and directing this documentary was based on much controversy regarding the history of this dance form. In some cases certain Brooklyn based dancers have totally rejected any possibility of early Rock dance history from the Bronx and Manhattan. Within the past 15 years they have claimed that the dance started in Brooklyn and tried to insist that their style is the "correct" and "original" form.

After many debates and valid points falling on def ears I saw the urgency to pick up my camera and seek out some of the Bronx Rock dance legends. I was determined to have their voices heard and their rightful place in Rock dance history established. The subjects in this documentary will challenge the history of Rock dance as most people know it. They will finally set the record straight regarding the true history of this amazing dance form!

I'd like to thank my good friend Franc "Perico" Reyes for putting me in contact with Marine Boy who then connected me with Papo who then introduced me to Enoch. It was all a chain reaction!

I plan to screen ROCK DANCE HISTORY: The Untold Story of Up-Rockin' in it's entirety in the near future. It will feature more interviews of Rock dancers from the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. The screening event will also include a panel discussion with Rock dance pioneers and a Rockin' contest that will be judged by these legends. My sincerest gratitude go out to all who have helped in this effort including: Elias "Weebles" Reyes, Lil' Lep, Jerry Maze, Joey Juice, B-Boy Zip, Sam Lugo, Papo Luv, Arnaldo "Tito" Cepeda and everyone else. I also extend a special thank you to The Point CDC (Community/Arts Center) in the Bronx for all their support. Stay tuned for further information on my Hip Hop Dance History forum on facebook.

The Justice Department is demanding some key concessions to keep the deal from crushing competition -- a key concern of smaller rivals as well as consumers. Ticketmaster will have to license its ticketing software to the runner up in the space, AEG (AEGXY.PK), which would allow it to "self ticket" and provide ticketing services. Another way the DOJ is fostering the growth of another rival: Ticketmaster must sell its ticketing software company Paciolan, to Comcast-Spectator [CMCSA 22.10 -0.08 (-0.36%) ] or another buyer. Venues that work with Paciolan can lower their ticketing fees, which will give Paciolan's a new advantage.

Ahead of the Investor Day presentation I spoke to CEO Michael Rapino, who told me that their ticket sales dropped five percent, compared to the 17 percent declines the rest of the industry suffered in the first half of the year. But the company's gross ticket revenue was down 9 percent to $822 for those six months, as it's brought ticket prices and fees down.
