Our Programs

Our organization provides a wide range of Hip-Hop dance and art programs for youth both during and after school. We also offer mentorship and apprenticeship opportunities for teens in various areas of Hip-Hop arts, including songwriting and music production, all forms of dance, creative wellbeing, street art composition, and more. Our performance component allows us to showcase local unsung heroes of Hip-Hop dance and promote intergenerational learning by hiring elders in our community to help teach and pass down tradition and culture.
