June 15: The Show
AWARD-WINNING, ORIGINAL & CONNECTED,
ROOTED is a celebration of the foundations of Hip Hop. The first and only choreographers’ evening focused exclusively on dance under the Hip Hop umbrella and its roots.
Created and curated by Maia Maiden aka Rah Fyah, this multifaceted show exhibits the skills and techniques of the finest choreographers in the Twin Cities and beyond. ROOTED is a high-energy performance where audience members can share space with Minnesota’s diverse Hip Hop and Street dance community featuring old-school favorites, up-and-coming talent, and the women of Hip Hop. ROOTED is the only show of its kind that embraces the history of Hip Hop culture and, for that reason, has sold out every year since its debut.
