Versa-Style Next Generation Program
Versa-Style Next Generation is a group of highly dedicated young dancers from the Los Angeles area. The program offers the opportunity to participate in a pre-professional Hip Hop dance experience. Students are introduced into the street dance community through their engagement in community performances, travel performances, and events such as competitions, festivals, productions, dance intensives and classes in hopes for them to connect to global Hip Hop dance culture. Students receive personalized dance mentorship from Versa-Style Teaching Artists/Dance Company Principal Dancers.

Every child has known God.
Not the God of names,
Not the God of don’t’s,
Not the God whoever does anything weird.
But the God who only knows
Four words.
And he keeps repeating them, saying:
“Come dance with me.”
Come Dance.
-Hafez
