How Jonzi D is crashing the theatre and breaking convention with hip-hop dance

Jonzi D has devoted his life to hip-hop dance because he believes it deserves a seat at the table as a respected art form in theater and dance.

He's taking this message all over the world as the founder of the Breakin' Convention hip-hop dance festival. The event is making its Canadian debut in association with Luminato and takes place June 23 to 25 at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts.

Jonzi D talks to Tom Power about bringing hip-hop dance into formal theatre spaces, how he created Breakin' Convention and how dance can be used as a vessel for creative and social expression.
