“Street dance especially in the context of theatre all comes down to expression of self. Whether it be your life experiences or your thoughts/opinions on things that affect young people, I believe dance is a powerful tool to speak up on those issues or show who you are as an individual. I’m really excited for people to come into the company and show their truest self and express themselves in any way they see fit!” - Nathan
"I’m really excited to share my knowledge and experiences with this company I want to create pieces that matter using hip hop. This is something I’ve always wanted to do so I’m really excited and greatful for this opportunity!" - Andrew
