How street dance culture builds community | Char Loro | TEDxEmilyCarrU

Have you ever witnessed a street or club dance battle before? Beyond the portrayals of Hollywood surrounding this rich culture, Char Loro, a community builder and event producer in the local Vancouver street and club dance scene, dispels stereotypes and shares what's been emerging from the underground. Char Loro is a creative producer, curator and master of ceremonies for live music and street dance events, immersive art experiences, as well as video production.

She joined the Vancouver Street Dance Association in 2017 as their Community Facilitator - building bridges and creating collaboration opportunities between the street dance community and various organizations such as the Vancouver Mural Festival, Public Disco, Granville Island, the Downtown/Mount Pleasant Business Improvement Associations, Vancouver Craft Beer Week, and Vancouver Civic Theatres. She has also been working with community builders in the street-dance community in Seattle and Portland to strengthen the Pacific Northwest region.

Char is very passionate about bringing people together to activate urban public spaces and create accessible platforms for street dancers and music artists to share their artistry with the general public. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
