Judi Lopez- When I started dancing, Hip-Hop wasn’t really a thing

My special guest this week is Judi Lopez, the Founder of KeepRockinYou, an artist-based collective that seeks to inspire and empower young women. Judi is also the Toronto representative for the international Hip Hop dance theatre festival, Breakin’ Convention happening this weekend June 1 and 2nd at the Sony Centre for Performing Arts. Judi talks about how there weren’t many black women breaking when she started, and how hip-hop dance is evolving. Check out the Breakin' Convention happening this weekend June 1 and June 2nd in Toronto: http://bit.ly/2IGwevn Breakin’ Convention is an inspiring weekend of exceptional performances from world champion breakdancing crews to cutting edge street dance companies – all live on stage.
