Ten years of dance

To celebrate 10 years of L2R Dance, a documentary will be screening at the end of the month in St Albans, showcasing the journey of the group.

L2R is Australia’s only youth hip hop and street dance not-for-profit organisation, providing free hip hop dance programs, arts education opportunities and employment pathways for young people throughout Melbourne’s western suburbs and beyond.

L2R offers culturally safer, creative spaces for young people aged between six to 25 experiencing barriers to entering creative opportunities.

L2R nurtures creativity, transforming lives through the power of dance.

The documentary was directed, shot, and edited by local creative Kimberly Summer, and interviews group founder Jacinda May on the trials and tribulations of running a grassroots community group, which started at Western English Language School, and has now expanded to a thriving community of young people and artists celebrating street dance across Melbourne’s West.

“Join us as we commemorate our big 10th birthday and the founding of L2R with a night of reflection, reconnection, food, film and, as always, dance,” May said.

“This night is just as much about us as it is you, our community. We couldn’t have done the last 10 years without you, so please, come and join us.”

Tickets are free, but limited, so booking is heavily encouraged.

The screening is on Wednesday, July 31, from 6pm to 7.30pm, at the Bowery Theatre in St Albans.
