About Ladies of Hip-Hop Dance Collective

Ladies of Hip-Hop Dance Collective ( LDC)  is an all female intergenerational dance collective that creates dance works illuminating the strength, power and diversity of  women in Hip-Hop.  Ever present in the work are the freestyle, cipher, and call-and-response origins of street and club dance culture, all while exploring the space of proscenium performance. 

​Under the direction of founder Michele Byrd-Mcphee, Ladies of Hip-Hop Dance Collective (LDC) interweaves the embodied experiences of women, creating a communal fabric that paints a picture of a more global women experience. Through their work, LOHH is reclaiming and transforming spaces, not only in the realm of dance but also within the broader cultural landscape. LOHH asks audiences to celebrate the strength, resilience, and creativity of women from all walks of life, while sparking important conversations about gender equality and representation.
