Class Description
For a second year in a row, Moov Ottawa Dance is excited to celebrate Black History Month. Supported by the National Arts Centre, Moov Ottawa Dance presents a series of special workshops honouring Black History Month. While we celebrate Black dances and culture year-round, this February we’re highlighting some of Ottawa’s finest Black street and social dance artists. *WE WELCOME EVERYONE OF ALL BACKGROUNDS TO ATTEND, BUT HIGHLY ENCOURAGE THOSE OF BLACK ROOTS TO SIGN UP* VALENTINA'S HIP HOP WORKSHOP: Join Valentina Solis for a Hip Hop dance workshop for teens and adults. Rooted in Black communities in the United States, Hip Hop dance emerged as a form of expression from oppression, storytelling, and cultural exchange. Valentina will guide participants of all levels through Hip Hop foundations, groove, and musicality, exploring popular movements and how they connect to the music. The class will build toward a short choreography, bringing everything together in an accessible and fun way. Throughout the workshop, a DJ will be playing Hip Hop music to create a high-energy, party-style atmosphere!
