Kaiva @7pm
Early in 2006, a group of professional b-boys and b-girls came to Iqaluit and introduced the hip-hop movement to young Nunavummiut in the hopes of
giving them a healthy outlet for their energy and creativity. Out of this came Kaiva dance group. Kaiva which means "to spin" is made up of young talented performers from various communities around Nunavut and led by Lil*Bear, a professional break dancer for over 10 years. Kaiva seeks to preserve and express Inuit culture by interpreting it through the art of break-dancing. To add a little Inuit fusion to the mix, they incorporate Inuit throat singing into their performances. Truly a fresh approach to tradition; Kaiva is all about trying new things, sharing it with others and having fun in the process! Kaiva will be represented by Christine Lamothe and Jennifer Soucie of Iqaluit, as well as Benny Sanguya and Saila Qayaq from Clyde River. Hip Hop dance has swept through Nunavut over the last 5 years and Kaiva is the best example of it’s power.
