Join my crew and I this weekend at O.N.E. Dance Studio for “Through the Elements” Hip Hop Workshop and Showcase!

So often hip hop events are under self-imposed segregation, with each element doing its own thing independent of the others. But this weekend we’re bringing all the elements together under ONE roof!

It’s a great way to raise funds for the Boys & Girls Club of London and enjoy some of what the local hip hop scene has to offer. Whether you’re already active in one of the hip hop art forms or just like to watch and appreciate, Through the Elements will have something fun for you.

Check out the details below and plan to join us on Saturday!
