We acknowledge that our offices are on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation. The peoples of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation have lived on this territory for millennia, stewarding the land, the water and all that contributes to life in this region.  Today, many Indigenous communities continue to be denied the opportunity and resources to make and experience their traditional art on this land. We pledge to make justice and reconciliation a priority through our work by amplifying Indigenous voices and their experiences.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

At the age of 18, Arnaldo Betancourt Silva decided that the time had come to do something artistic or physical. Breaking seems to be the perfect activity because music and dance have always been forms of art that he wanted to do. In 2009 he joined the Deadly Venoms Crew. Since then, he has traveled little through the world. He has won several competitions such as the Canadian Street Dance, Vancouver Street Dance Festival and many more. He’s travelled the world sharing and acquiring knowledge to bring back to his community. He’s currently dedicating himself to helping the next generation.

STREET DANCE EDUCATION

In order to aid the transmission of knowledge to the younger generation in the Ottawa street dance community, this program will allow the community to connect through: free mentoring sessions in DJing free online street dance classes, and video interviews of key figures in the Ottawa street dance scene. The program will make use of virtual meeting platforms such as Zoom for all the mentor and mentee sessions. Youtube will be used as the video platform where all the online classes and interviews will be available.
