Versa-Style Street Dance Company Reel
This is a compilation of our work as a professional hip hop dance theater company over the past 15 years. We spread our stories through professional concert-dance productions.
Freemind Freestyle
Versa-Style’s latest full-length work, “Freemind Freestyle,” consists of high–energy, unadulterated Hip Hop movement that explores the depths of improvisational dance.
Playground
“Finding Creativity and Fun in Our Personal Space”
Although we currently find ourselves in times of crisis and uncertainty, Versa-Style Street Dance Company would like to emphasize the importance of finding moments for joy, creativity, and finding your light. In partnership with the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, Versa-Style would like to present “Playground”, an online dance project that we hope will bring some peace and happiness to our communities. Inspired by the sounds of fellow dance community member Coflo, “Playground” encourages us all to seek self-expression and joy in our personal spaces even when these spaces are being taken from us.

“In actuality, I’d have been happy with just one – Versa-Style Dance Company from Los Angeles – a group of life-affirming party starters… All of this is wrapped up in a package of energetic performance, hugely enjoyable choreography, and great musical choices.”
Kelly Apter, The Scotsman at the The Edinburgh Fringe Festival
“When Versa-Style shares their work with student audiences, they also share a message of hard work, pride in your community, dedication to an art form, and the value of education.
Many of the dancers are the first in their families to go to college. Some are the first to finish high school… There were some pretty important take-homes for the 11 and 12 year olds in the audience today. But for us, and for the company, this morning was all about joy. Joy in movement, joy in sharing, joy in inspiring and supporting a new generation of artists. Joy in bringing our whole selves when we do the things we love, on stage and off.”
Theresa Willis, Design For Sharing UCLA
“The talent, the devotion and the drive to succeed [in Versa-Style] is apparent. The work created by Lopez and Foaad is professional and represents with great distinction an important element within the LA dance scene…The emphasis on detail and decorum was the same that I experienced throughout my career with other choreographers. The only difference was the style of dance. The choreography is original, organic and extremely musical…Los Angeles needs to recognize that it has an amazing Hip Hop dance company in its midst. I encourage everyone to check out this dynamic company.”
