The original new series, “Supa Girlz,” continues tomorrow Thursday, March 28th, exclusively on ALLBLK.
The six-episode docuseries follows a dance season in the life of one of the best high school dance teams in the country: the Miami Northwestern “G Girls.”
Led by a boldly unapologetic and visionary director, Traci Young-Byron, the “G Girls” have become a trend-setting viral sensation whose successes and struggles reflect those of the neighborhood they call home: Liberty City, Miami.
This verité documentary series forms a window into a world that follows Young-Byron through one tumultuous school year as she struggles to field an entirely new ensemble of dancers and replicate the towering achievements of her previous teams.
Over the course of one season, “Supa Girlz” weaves together Traci’s compelling personal story with those of her young, new dancers, Kiara Laster, Kevonni White, Jaida Sumlar and Jayla Dorsett, to paint a powerful portrait of rebirth and renewal in one of America’s most vibrant and influential inner cities.
UB spoke to Traci Young-Byron and she told us why “Supa Girlz” is different from other dance television shows; The show is very very authentic, I think that of all the dance shows I’ve seen on television there’s nothing like this one. It’s doc style so it’s not a reality show, so it’s very passionate and it just tells stories. It’s beautiful storytelling and it’s shot so so beautiful just to show the stories of the young ladies and myself and how we get to the great performances. Right before those girls become these well polished young ladies you know they’re raw, it’s the grit. They’re not polished at all you know what I mean and it takes for me to like push them beyond their limits to get them to what people see week to week.”
In tomorrow‘s episode entitled “Who is This Team Today,” Troubled by the leadership void on the team, Traci looks away from Kiara to a younger dancer, Jaida. In contrast to her bold performance style, Jaida is shy and unconfident outside of the studio.
