OUR STORY
OUR MOVEMENT
WHERE ARTISTRY MEETS LIVED EXPERIENCE — USING MOVEMENT TO SHAPE NEW NARRATIVES
Just Us Dance Theatre is a sector leading Hip Hop development organisation founded and driven by Artistic Director Joseph Toonga. Just Us aims to bring together, support and up-skill young Hip Hop dancers and early career artists from different backgrounds across the UK and internationally.
We provide opportunities for artists and young people from Black and ethnic minority and lower socioeconomic communities, and are committed to removing geographic, economic and social barriers that prevent people from taking part in arts and culture.
Growing up and still living in Newham, East London I only ever dreamt of establishing a career in dance. Dance in school saved me, it gave me a focus and I believe everyone should have the opportunity to connect with dance in some form.
