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 aspects of  the origins of street and club dance culture, while exploring the space of proscenium performance. Led by director and choreographer Michele Byrd-McPhee, LDC creates work that celebrates and centers feminist narratives examining the intersections of gender, race, and resistance.
