The Evolve programme provides training modules for Hip Hop artists, building technique, business skills, life skills, and well-being practices.

Just Evolve blends in-person professional training modules and online support, to feed artists’ personal practice.

Workshops focus on effective ways of training body and mind, including breaking conditioning, dance therapy, martial arts, and mental agility.

The programme provides a place where artists can exchange, grow, fail and learn with an international body of teachers and peer support network.

With well-being at the forefront, Just Evolve addresses how artists can navigate and thrive in a precarious freelance life, feeding artists/dancers’ personal practice to enable continuous training between employment.

Hip Hop has a less established training route or consistency of skills and professional development opportunities than other dance forms, so there is a big gap in artist support.

We know our artists come from a wide variety of backgrounds, with varying levels of educational attainment or social support, so we ensure our programmes also provide access to personal and life skills development.

Insights from previous participants:

  • “I give my experience a 10+ and would recommend it to everyone. You get to know yourself, you experience the space with international people, and this program gives you a good insight into what’s still possible as a freelance artist.”

  • “I’m able to take better care of myself mentally, physically, and financially. My approach to training is much more creative now, and participating in this program has had an impact on that.”
