We are excited to collaborate with Just Bgraphic on this project in tribute to us. The goal is to teach our history, tell our stories and share our experiences. Toronto’s hip hop dance history is rich and vibrant; this a great opportunity to learn the history and reconnect with us.

Dance REVOLT is a full day dance conference open to students in grades 8-12 + College & University students.

Students will learn about the evolution of Toronto’s Hip Hop Dance through the history of Do Dat Entertainment.
