RESPONSE TO HIP HOP HOOP DANCE FROM ARTS EDUCATION PRE-INTERN STUDENTS, FACULTY OF EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY OF REGINA 

“Great! The bridging between the two different cultures celebrated through dance is an experience everyone should be a part of. Our world needs more integration of different cultures and viewpoints opposed to separation. Very inspiring! A must see for all ages!”

• Elora West, 4th Year Arts Education Pre-intern 

“The live performance was fantastic. The kids loved it and were so engaged. They connected the Aboriginal content to life in a way that everyone could understand. The workshop after the performance was amazing. Everyone was moving and having fun. Everyone had a great time.”

• Cathleen McMillan, 4th Year Arts Education Pre-intern 

“I loved your ability to engage the students and your audience interaction! Cultural similarities and similarities between hip-hop and Aboriginal dance were inspirational and educational! Having male dancers also helped to break negative stereotypes in dance. Amazing performance!”

• Heather Dales, 2nd Year After Degree Pre-intern 

 “Chancz, Terrance and Jason, thank you so much for your performance in Melville. It is so stunning to see the commonalities between Aboriginal Hoop Dancing and Hip Hop Dance. Work like this is integral to Saskatchewan as it highlights the similarities we all have rather than focusing on the differences. It is so much more than just a performance; it is a message that speaks across cultures. Keep the inspiration alive!”

• Alejandra M. Cabrera, 4th Year Arts Education Pre-intern 

 “I really enjoyed the Hip Hop Hoop performance! It was really great for all the children to see something so culturally unique and relevant in their lives. I believe it opened some eyes and broadened some perspectives on cultural difference – a must see for any school and any age.”
