Purpose of the project
- Community, joy and growth
We want to inspire youth to dance more, explore more, learn new skills and experience community and joy.
Street dance as an art and the community connected to it values diversity. We want to give youth tools and opportunity to develop their own language of dance, which we know can increase confidence and self expression. We want to help build an interest for freestyle (improvisation). In time the participants will be able to use dance in social setting and as a tool for expression themselves with and in front of others.
- Inspiration
We want to inspire and support the interest for street dance and hip hop culture in different local communities around Norway.
The goal is that after a year of the project, the sites will get the knowledge to sustain the street dance community on their own; through hosting events like battles and jams, to create an open and inclusive dance scene.
- Knowledge
We want to provide information about what street dance is and where it comes from.
Based on many years experience, Soul Sessions Oslo has created a platform for sharing and exchanging knowledge and skills. With this project we create a network that will help the project sites on their journey. This will create growth in smaller communities and help the culture expand.
