Black History Month workshops with Moov Ottawa Dance
Join Arnaldo “Effect” Betancourt Silva for a breaking workshop for kids aged 6 to 15. Breaking was created by young Black and Brown youth in the 1970s in the Bronx, New York, as a form of expression, resistance, and community. Known as the first hip-hop dance, breaking has since grown into a global movement seen on stages, in music videos, and at the Summer Olympics.
Effect – Moov Ottawa Dance’s Artistic Director and co-founder – will guide kids of all levels through breaking foundations in a fun, supportive environment, with opportunities for more advanced participants to explore power moves.
No prior dance experience is required.
Presented by Moov Ottawa Dance, supported by the National Arts Centre.

Ateliers à l’occasion du Mois de l’histoire des Noirs avec Moov Ottawa Dance
Arnaldo « Effect » Betancourt Silva animera un atelier de breaking pour les 6 à 15 ans. Le breaking a été créé par des jeunes de couleur dans les années 1970 dans le Bronx, à New York, comme forme d’expression, de résistance et de communauté. Première danse hip-hop populaire, le breaking est depuis devenu un mouvement mondial qu’on retrouve sur scène, dans les vidéoclips et même aux Jeux Olympiques d’été.
Effect, directeur artistique et cofondateur de Moov Ottawa Dance, enseignera les fondements du breaking aux enfants de tous niveaux dans un cadre ludique et bienveillant. Les jeunes d’un niveau plus avancé pourront apprendre des mouvements plus complexes.
Aucune expérience préalable en danse n’est requise.
Présenté par Moov Ottawa Dance, avec le soutien du Centre national des Arts.
