About Me


The BLADE Academy is a school of contemporary hip-hop dance education. It is the first of its kind in North America. Since its inception in 1997, The BLADE Academy has been working to debunk current perceptions of the professional hip-hop dancer. BLADE is a legion of dancers armed with the knowledge and wisdom of hip-hop's forefathers coupled with the dance education and dance techniques of today. Bringing pride, dignity and insight to our hip-hop culture and turning an inexperienced dancer's dream into reality.
