Boogieman Dela & Friends ft Nelly Line Dance: Pop-Ups at the Portal
Advertisement
With Boogieman Dela & Friends, hip-hop meets soul, with a chill, introspective, and slightly jazzy vibe—where vocals matter just as much as bars. We'll also welcome Nelly Line Dance for a dance party for all levels!
Boogieman Dela is a Philadelphia-based artist known for blending hip-hop with neo-soul, R&B, and jazz influences. His sound combines smooth vocals and melodic rap over laid-back, groove-driven production, creating a vibe that’s both introspective and easygoing. Drawing from a strong musical background, he brings a live, soulful feel to his work while exploring themes like relationships, self-growth, and individuality. Boogie is the driving force behind Stereotype Sound Sessions, an event brand rooted in West Philly that has been thriving since 2016. Through it, he’s built a strong platform and community for artists, creating opportunities for connection, collaboration, and consistent mutual growth.
As a line dance instructor, Nelly brings energy, patience, and a passion for helping others feel confident on the dance floor. She breaks down steps in a way that’s easy to follow, making sure everyone—from beginners to seasoned dancers—feels included and has fun. Her upbeat attitude and ability to read the room help her keep classes engaging, and she genuinely enjoy building a sense of community through music and movement. A certified Yoga and Fitness instructor, event maven and the life of any party, Nelly will have you line dancing like a pro in no time.

Presented by local artist Gretchen Elise, we invite everyone to come out every Thursday from May 7 to June 4, and enjoy 5 weeks of all-age music, warm weather, and connecting with your community. Be sure to support Renata's Kitchen while you're there!
