In 2007, Sarah "Saza" Kent and Luis "Weezy" Egurrola, two Phoenix natives, formed EPIK Dance Company.
By bringing together classically trained and street dancers, they helped shape Arizona's premier street-fusion dance company.
Within their first year of existence, they were winning battles and performing for large audiences, including MTV's America's Best Dance Crew Tour.
Soon after, they decided to turn their focus to creating evening-length theatre works and went on to produce Common Ground, a show centered on the idea that there is always a tie that bonds us, regardless of our differences.
