Celebrate House Dance

It's time for an Arts Break! House dance is a style of dance that originated in the early 1980s, created predominantly by Black and Latinx LGBTQIA+ artists. Let’s join New Victory Teaching Artist Olney Edmondson for some house dance history and a menu of moves. Stick around until the end to celebrate with a cypher—a freestyle dance jam where family and friends take turns in the center of the dance circle.

New Victory Arts Break videos are designed for kids, families and educators to engage with the arts in any space—including at home or in the classroom! This video's instructions can be modified to meet the needs of you and your kids.
