Moyo Nguvu Cultural Arts Center & School of Breaking Present:

Hip-Hop Peer Leadership Program

The Hip-Hop Peer Leadership Program is a Rites of Passage experience for youth.

What is a Rites of Passage? 

A rites of passage is literally a structured assemblage of trials (classes and workshops) that are devised to empower the individual. 

Moyo is proud to be the first and only nationally recognized Rites of Passage & Peer leadership Program in the state of Colorado. The partnership with School of Breaking brings over 10-years of Hip-Hop and Dance education for youth (as recognized by the City of Aurora and Mayor Mike Coffman).

While Moyo’s Cultural base is African-centered, the values and skills taught at Moyo are universal. In addition, Hip-Hop is an internationally recognized culture, inclusive of people from all races, religions, ethnicities and genders. Youth of all backgrounds will benefit from this program. 

Curriculum focuses on: 

– Artistic elements of Hip Hop (dance, music and art)

– Physical, Academic, Spiritual, Social and Creative development

Youth will participate in weekly artistic, self-care and leadership workshops followed by a catered lunch of various cuisines.

After successful completion of the curriculum, participants graduate and are acknowledged by their community and their families for achieving the next stage of mental, physical, and spiritual development.
