Nordic Hip Hop to the stage is a project that aims to bring street dance styles to the theatre stages in the Nordic countries. Done in the cooperation with French dance company Art Move Concept, the project target young breakers who are not yet familiar with dance theatre productions and struggle to make professional career as dancers. As it happens, street dance styles like hip hop, locking or papping often become incorporated into the contemporary dance theatre production, while breaking being a much more physically demanding dance style and therefore considered more as a sport today, rather then a dance style for performative arts, is often not taken for inspiration by choreographers in the Nordics. Meanwhile in France breakers are a part of traditional dance companies for the last twenty years touring around the worlds with dance performances build with a large number of breaking elements.
