PD Social | Ladies of Hip Hop: A Night of Art, Connection, and Community

Ladies of Hip Hop: A Night of Art, Connection, and Community

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the power and artistry of women in Hip Hop with Ladies of Hip Hop (LOHH) — an all-female, intergenerational dance collective under the direction of founder Michele Byrd-McPhee. LOHH’s work illuminates the strength, diversity, and global experiences of women, reclaiming and transforming spaces through dance and culture.

As a special treat, we’re hosting a private VIP experience before the show. Enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres, a sponsored bar, and brief remarks about what’s next for PD. You’ll have the chance to connect, learn more about our mission, and invite friends to experience our vibrant community. This evening is made possible through our partnership with the Marcus Performing Arts Center and includes a ticket to the performance.

Our last VIP event was a hit — art has a unique way of breaking the ice, sparking innovation, and creating lasting connections. Don’t miss this chance to witness powerful artistry, enjoy meaningful conversations, and share the experience with old friends and new.

Bring a friend. Be inspired. Experience the magic.

FULL EVENT DETAILS:

Ladies of Hip Hop (LOHH) is an all-female intergenerational dance collective that creates dance works illuminating the strength, power, and diversity of women in Hip Hop. Under the direction of founder Michele Byrd-McPhee, LOHH interweaves the embodied experiences of women, creating a communal fabric that paints a picture of a more global women experience. Through their work, LOHH is reclaiming and transforming spaces, not only in the realm of dance but also within the broader cultural landscape. 

The Black Dancing Bodies Project is an initiative to uplift and celebrate Black women in street and club dance culture, addressing the erasure and miscoding of Black women’s contributions to American dance culture. Black Dancing Bodies Project: Speak My Mind reclaims community stories, gestures, mannerisms, hairstyles, dances, and cultural norms. With neck rolling, eye rolling, tongue popping, teeth sucking, hand clapping, and finger snapping, we will be loud, expressive, gentle, and soft. We will be authentically ourselves. We will speak our minds.

This show is part of the 2024/25 MPAC Presents Dance series. To learn more and subscribe to all three jazz shows, click here.
