Freestyle Fridays/The Drop
Freestyle Fridays and The Drop are drop-in programs for youth to come together to collaborate, share their creativity and build community. We offer these programs at a low cost to remove financial barriers to participate in these valuable activities.
Studies show that youth are most vulnerable during the after school hours. These drop-ins offer a safe place to go after school. Everyone is welcome to gather, be inspired, and feel a sense of belonging, purpose and accomplishment.
These dance classes and workshops are taught by top professionals. As well, through ourĀ mentorship, students hone their leadership and teaching skills, share ideas about choreography, create socially responsible works, prepare and plan events, fundraisers, and future performances.
Students often come to us after participating in our School Hip Hop workshops. At our drop-ins they can meet students from other schools, experience being in an inspiring, energized dance environment with sprung floors and mirrors, with people who have the same interests and together discover their own abilities.
Over the last few years, Freestyle Fridays has had over 3050 participants, and entertained and enlightened over 3700 audience members.
