The Homeland Cultural Center was established in 1989 with a mission to provide a safe place to cultivate, present, and preserve the cultures of residents through the performing and visual arts, and to celebrate the Anaheim (Street) Corridor’s dramatic ethnic diversity by encouraging artistic expression in various cultural traditions. With the help of Ice Man, Steam, Waveomatic and Dixie, Homeland has become a place to share the Hip Hop culture to its fullest.
Homeland has been known for its Tuesday night bboy/bgirl practice sessions and also for its Monday night popping/locking practice sessions. Durring these weekly sessions, many dancers of all ages and locations come together to share their knowledge and skills on the dance floor.
You have always showed the people at homeland and any fellow dancers love...you were one of the most kind hearted dancer that came to homeland, you spread joy, laughter,and great vibes when you were around. We are all blessed to have you in our lives and you have brought positivity to the community... we love you gary... RIP...
