DanceHouse presents the B.C. premiere of Québec dance troupe Bboyizm’s award-winning work In My Body, on stage March 17 and 18 at 8 pm at the Vancouver Playhouse.

Conceived and created by renowned street dancer and choreographer Yvon “Crazy Smooth” Soglo, In My Body is a profound examination of the effects of aging in a dance genre known for intense athleticism, bravado, and the show of invincibility. Multiple knee surgeries and his own shifting stamina inspired Soglo to explore what it truly means to be a b-boy for life.

Three generations of Canada’s top b-boys and b-girls ranging in age from their early 20s to late 50s will share the stage to embody the dancers’ evolution with fierce physicality and moving vulnerability.

Their dancing will be accompanied by multimedia projections, original instrumental music by DJ Shash’U, and spoken word poetry from Alejandro Rodriguez that tells the dancers’ personal stories of survival, triumph, and defeat.

Tickets for the show can be purchased at DanceHouse.
