Winner of the 2014 Sage Award for Outstanding Dance Performance, 

ROOTED is a celebration of the foundations of Hip Hop. The first and only choreographers’ evening focused exclusively on dance under the Hip Hop umbrella and its roots.

Created and curated by Maia Maiden, this multifaceted show exhibits the skills and techniques of the finest choreographers in the Twin Cities. ROOTED is a high-energy performance where audience members can share space with Minnesota’s diverse hip hop community featuring old-school favorites, up-and-coming talent, and the women of Hip Hop. ROOTED is the only show of its kind that embraces the history of Hip Hop culture and, for that reason, has sold out every year since its debut.

Like kinesthetic technicians, ROOTED’s featured choreographers take the stage to illuminate this WORLD RENOWN craft. What started as a need for recognizing Hip Hop on the stage, has flourished into a community affair. Join us at ROOTED: Hip Hop Choreographers’ Evening, to learn about the foundations of Hip Hop dance and its lasting legacy.
