Versa-Style Street Dance Company

Founded in 2005 by Los Angeles natives and co-artistic directors Jackie Lopez aka Miss Funk and Leigh Foaad aka Breeze-lee, Versa-Style Street Dance Company was created to promote, empower and celebrate the artistry of Hip Hop and street dance culture. Named “Los Angeles’ Best Dance Troupe for Hip Hop Empowerment” by LA Weekly, Versa-Style is recognized for its electrifying performances and inspiring engagement activities for schools and local communities. Consisting of committed, highly skilled street dance artists and educators representative of the diversity and beautiful complexity of Los Angeles, Versa-Style Street Dance Company harnesses the exhilarating energy of street dance onto the concert stage for an unforgettable evening of dance.

Versa-Style’s latest full-length dance work, titled “Tribute: Guardians of Street Dance”, will honor our 20 year anniversary as a Hip Hop and street dance ensemble by paying homage to our artistic journey as it weaves through influential figures, cultural movements, and community growth.

The multidisciplinary work will be uplifting and energetic, yet intimate and intentional, as it honors Hip Hop and street dance artists who are still with us today and those who have passed on. Photo and video elements will be utilized to honor these individuals who have been an impactful part of a global street dance culture that includes Hip Hop, house, popping, locking, and more.

Versa-Style’s work has acted as a bridge between past, present, and future, and this work will honor our evolution into the cultural institution of embodied knowledge we are today. It's a celebration of street dance in all its colors, shapes, and sizes.
