More congrats to Jade's Hip Hop Academy

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to share some wonderful news and a link to our most recent performance. The Premier of Ontario specifically requested Jade's Hip Hop Academy (JHHA) for his tribute which occurred this past Friday January 25th during the Ontario Liberal Leadership Convention at Old Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. The Premier made his request after having seen us perform in 2011 at the BBPA Harry Jerome Awards, when I won the Young Entrepreneur Award and my students performed in the opening Gala number. It was a great honour and 65 JHHA dancers ages 8 to 18 performed in Flash Mob fashion for the Premier and thousands of Ontario Liberals and received a Standing Ovation.

This was one of 4 performances in January for JHHA who completed a 40 minute performance at the Canadian Opera Company Noon Hour Series at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts on the 10th, a flash mob at the Toronto International Boat Show on the 12th and  a 20min Theatre production at Dance Weekend'13 at Harbourfront Centre on the 18th. To keep up to date on all of our performances follow us on twitter @jadeshiphopacad. Thank you to all for your continued support!
