BackBone was founded by choreographer Alida Dors, who has her roots in hip hop and this is the source of her work. In terms of form, she always looks for unorthodox encounters with other disciplines. This open attitude, through which the constant encounter brings a continuous change, is in her eyes the core of hip-hop.BackBone wants to further develop hip hop dance in the Netherlands and abroad by deepening the hip hop dance vocabulary, linking hip hop dance to other art and dance disciplines and expanding the scope of this dance form not only to other venues and audiences, but also to the public space; there where hip hop was born.
