Str08 Hip Hop’s Executive Director Duane Calles mentions, “We wanted to provide a show to give back to the local dance community and had no idea it was going to be as successful as it was. If you Jabbawockeez in Virginia Beach, its amazing how many clips there are.” As a result of the success from the initial show at Virginia Wesleyan, Str08 Hip Hop has culminated a 2-day Dance Workshop that will encompass 12 classes of energizing and intense choreography welcoming students of all levels and ages.

This year’s guest choreographers include dance crews from MTV’s “America’s Best Dance Crew”: , , Boogie Bots & Beat Freaks. In addition, there will be talent from Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance”, Ivan Koumaev and Virginia Beach’s very own, Travis Wall. The weekend’s talent pool consist of dancers and choreographers that were top selects from seasons 1, 2 & 3 of “ABDC” and “So You Think You Can Dance”.
