Breakdancing with Unity

Learn how to break dance, pop and lock with Unity, a national non-profit organization that uses Hip Hop art forms to help young people develop resilience and create healthier communities!

This program actively engages youth participants to support the development of protective factors, social skills, and a sense of belonging, and also improves online access and connectivity for African Nova Scotian(ANS)/Queer/Marginalized Youth and their households. 

Youth registered in the breakdancing program will get to participate in weekly, virtual/in-person hybrid hip-hop programming and will also receive a free device (for keeps!) and either a cellular connection or a year of fully subsidized internet for their household. We will send along a survey after your registration to find out about your tech/internet needs. (Surveys need to be completed by January 1 in order to ensure that technology and internet access can be set up in time for the first week of programming)

Please note that this program is closed for both ANS and members of underrepresented communities including 2SLGBTQIA+ and youth living with a disability, and runs in both the winter and spring term. Participants must attend programs either virtually or in person to maintain their free internet access and to be able to keep their device at the end of the program.
