The Art Gallery of Alberta respectfully acknowledges that we are located in Treaty 6 Territory and Region 4 of the Metis Nation of Alberta. We respect this as the traditional and contemporary  land of diverse Indigenous Peoples including the Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, Beaver Cree, Nitsitapi/Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Anishinaabe/Saulteaux/Ojibwe and Dene Peoples. We also acknowledge the many Indigenous, Inuit and Métis people who make Alberta their home today.

Intro to Hip-Hop with Nimihitotân Dance Collective

Join us for a free Intro to Hip-Hop Class taught by Nimihitotân Dance Collective in our Main Hall, in celebration of the recently opened exhibition Dance Party. We do recommend coming earlier to see the exhibitions before the program starts at 6pm. 

This event takes place during our monthly free night at the gallery, which is the last Thursday of the month between 4-7pm.

About Nimihtotân: Nimihtotân was created by Danni Okemaw from the Berens River and Gods River First Nation in Manitoba and Tiger Bellerose from Driftpile First Nation in Alberta. Nimihtotân (Let's dance! in Cree) is an Indigenous grassroots movement that focuses on creating an Indigenous safe space in the dance studio, by incorporating kinship and reciprocal relations between Indigenous dancers and Indigenous choreographers/instructors. Nimihtotân is a monthly hip-hop dance workshop series in Edmonton, Alberta that serves to support new Indigenous dancers and to provide teaching opportunities for Indigenous dancers. 

About Dance Party: Dance Party embraces the blending of art, dance and choreography and explores movement as a method of claiming space and affirming a sense of belonging through one’s own body. Learn more.
