About
Come join us for a beginner introduction to Hip-Hop dance! This workshop will teach basic street dance moves to Hip-Hop and Pop hits of the 90s, 00s, and today.
Matthew Morales is a professional dancer, choreographer, teacher, and event producer. Working in the industry since 2017, his dance credits include the Toronto Raptors North Side Crew, the Toronto Argonauts A-Team, Ceréna, Nilo Blues, and choreographing for a wide variety of recording artists. As an event producer, Matthew has created over a dozen dance and youth-focused events in the GTA under his production company: xM². Currently, Matthew continues to choreograph and dance for musical artists, while teaching for First Nations communities through Outside Looking In. Blending various street styles through choreography and freestyle lessons, Matthew strives to help dancers of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels find the confidence to speak freely through their movement.
