Experience an evening of captivating dance routines by Northwest Tap Connection featuring the creative vision of choreographer Shakiah Danielson, a mini film screening, and a discussion on the healing power of dance in the face of trauma within urban communities.
Shakiah Danielson is a self-taught hip-hop instructor/choreographer and is currently the Artistic Director of the hip-hop program at Northwest Tap Connection. She started choreographing/teaching a little over 13 years ago for theater productions put on by Restoration of the Arts (ROTA), a non-profit artistic organization focused on utilizing the arts to reach at-risk youth. She’s had the honor of traveling from Mexico to Canada to teach dance workshops, and has taught at a variety of dance studios in the Pacific Northwest from Woodinville to Portland. She takes an unbridled, bold, passionate approach to hip-hop coupled with an eclectic blend of music. With a track record of creating powerful choreography for youth with Northwest Tap, her productions are not to be missed.
