The Arctic Hip Hop
Photo Gallery
Capitalizing on the popularity of Hip Hop, Social Worker and longtime B-boy Stephen Leafloor has been bringing positive Hip Hop workshops to the north, this time to the remote Hamlet of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut.
While dancing to the beat, kids are encouraged to blend their rich, ancient culture with a modern one. Between backspins and body-waves, they discuss bullying, body image and suicide. Five days later they emerge not only better dancers, but more confident kids, who have a clearer idea of how to balance their cultural identity with modern times.
