Abdennour Belalit, from the Alexandra N’Possee company, invites you to discover hip-hop dance — a blend of technique, self-expression, and the joy of movement! 

In collaboration with Abdennour Belalit, dancer and choreographer from the Alexandra N’Possee company, we are offering a beginner hip-hop workshop on August 15th from 1 to 3 PM at The French Institute of Finland — a unique opportunity to explore this art form and discover our newly renovated premises! 

Since 1994, this multicultural company has developed award-winning choreographic work as well as educational activities to raise awareness of hip-hop dance. 

During the workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of hip-hop: basic postures, coordination, and rhythm. The session will be adapted to the group’s level. Beyond choreography, the workshop will emphasize the core values of the hip-hop movement. The instructor will share his personal journey, experiences, and sources of inspiration. 

The workshop will be held in French, with interpretation into Finnish or English available depending on the audience’s needs. The fee is €15 per person. 

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing, dance-appropriate shoes, and bringing a water bottle. No prior dance experience is required.
