An elite group of female instructors, artist, and businesswomen serve as positive role models and lead workshops in dance and business. The festival aims to remove barriers and build bridges for women in hip-hop. The festival creates a space for women to share, discuss, and pursue their interpretations of hip-hop dance, music and art.
