About Us
UniverSOUL Hip Hop is a multicultural group of authentic and socially engaged dance practitioners with a mission to bring transformative, SOUL-centered dance performance and education into diverse communities. We pursue community, justice and joy through Hip Hop, with a vision to cultivate experiences that transform culture and restore the human spirit and family.
from the roots
Birthed by Black and Brown American youth and rooted in the African diaspora, Hip Hop is an inclusive, transcendent practice of LIBERATION that frees us to express our stories, embrace the beauty within, and envision a world to be. It is an unfolding, UniverSOUL tapestry of our shared humanity.
UniverSOUL artists are lifelong practitioners that draw on the origins and impact of Hip Hop/Street dance as a cultural agent to empower both individual and communal identities. We cultivate cross-cultural and intergenerational experiences. All are invited to “COME AS YOU ARE” and be transformed.
