Nita Liem's Dance Party

Students will learn the history of Hip Hop as they interact directly with the artists in this unique international collaboration between a Dutch dance company and some of NYC’s hottest dancers and DJs. This is definitely a presentation that you don’t want to miss!

Nita Liem

Nita Liem has followed closely the development of Afro­American, urban and social dance traditions since the beginning of her career; she has resided in New York, South Africa and Senegal. In 2000, Liem founded her own company Don´t Hit Mama together with Bart Deuss, focusing on young audiences more familiar with street culture than theatre tradition. The group’s inspiration is drawn from multicultural reality of those living in big cities – and their unrestrained and aleatoric lifestyle.
