It was a privilege to have @lilbuckdalegend lead our senior students in Memphis Jookin workshops last week!
Lil Buck is a renowned dancer, educator and movement artist known for popularizing Memphis Jookin. He has performed with Yo-Yo Ma, Cirque du Soleil, Madonna, and Mikhail Baryshnikov, and has appeared in many global campaigns.
Beyond performance, Buck is a choreographer and activist, founding MOVEMENT ART IS (M.A.I.) and creating award-winning short films and stage shows that use movement to inspire social and environmental change.
Thank you Lil Buck for sharing your expertise and your passion for dance with our students!
This special experience of having Lil Buck join us was coordinated through the Glenn Gould Foundation the Promise of Music. The Promise of Music aims to bring together the world’s most inspiring artists, performers and change makers for five transformative days of concerts, public forums, special events and bold new ideas. NBS is honoured to host one of these events this year.
