Debate: Authenticity in Hip-Hop Dance on Stage

Held as part of the Lezarts Danse festival, this debate brought together around thirty dancers and industry professionals to tackle a key question: how can hip-hop dance stay true to its roots when it moves onto the stage? Through the insights of prominent figures like Pitcho Womba Konga, Hendrickx Ntela, Justine Theizen, and Laetitia Malamba, the discussion opened up deep reflections on the risks of aesthetic standardization, the tension between institutionalization and authenticity, and the potential bridges between street culture and the performing arts. A necessary moment of dialogue and collective thought, with a video replay available online.
