A Street Dance Artist Development Program by Alight Movement Hosted at North Shore School of Dance

Street Dance Creative Lab is a season-long artist development program designed for young dancers who want to explore street dance beyond traditional choreography-based classes.

Throughout the season, dancers will train in Hip Hop, House, Waacking, Popping, Waving, Breaking, freestyle, musicality, and creative movement while developing the skills needed to perform confidently both on stage and on camera.

The Lab combines weekly training with Dance Film Study, performance analysis, creative development, stage and camera performance training, Dance Film productions, and additional creative projects throughout the season.

Dancers will also explore the history, culture, music, and community behind street dance while developing their own artistic voices through freestyle, collaboration, storytelling, and performance.

The 2026–27 season is organized into creative phases that allow dancers to build strong foundations, explore new movement and ideas, develop original work, and bring those ideas to life through performance and film.

Program Includes:
Street dance foundations and technique • Freestyle and cypher training • Musicality and groove development • Dance Film Study • Stage and camera performance • Creative and choreographic development • Two major Dance Film productions • Additional creative and promotional projects • Performance opportunities • Street dance history and culture • Confidence, collaboration, and artist development
