We are the only dance studio in Ottawa dedicated to teaching and promoting the urban dance styles of Popping, Breaking, House, Locking, Hip Hop, Vogue, Waacking, and Dancehall.
Our goals are to provide the best dance education to our students, promote a healthy and positive atmosphere for creative expression, and raise the level and quality of street dancing in the Capital City!
Established in 2011, The Flava Factory (formerly The Flavor Factory Urban Dance School) has been providing dance classes for all levels and ages in a variety of dance styles that had not been offered in the city before.
We continue to support the community by throwing some of the only street dance events in the Nation’s Capital, with Jack of All Styles being our flagship annual event. Our Studio is dedicated to not only supporting dancers from Ottawa, but also in supporting the careers of Canadian Street Dancers.
We continue to hire street dancers from all over Canada to judge our events, and facilitate workshops to our students and greater community. Our goal is to provide experiences for emerging dancers in Ottawa to learn about the foundation, history, and proper technique of each of these dances.
Our studio prides itself on its artistic integrity, and we aim to provide each dancer with the tools and techniques they need to develop their own style and character, while understanding the history and culture that comes along with each unique expression.
Waacking, also known as “Punking,” or “Whaacking”, is danced to underground Disco music and primarily showcases movements of the arms.
You will learn the history of Vogue and Ballroom Culture as well as posing and runway walking.
This includes the Hip Hop party dance of the 80?s and 90?s and the more recent dance moves and choreographies.
The name House comes from, “The Warehouse”, a club in Chicago where seminal DJ-Producers began mixing drum machines with disco, funk and soul records, a combination which gave rise to the soulful electronic sound we now know as house.
Break Dancing is offered by The Flava Factory. Often referred to as “breakdancing” in the media, breakin (or b-boying/b-girling) is a popular style of street dance that is considered one of the original 4 Hip Hop Elements.
