Join us in celebrating local and national street dance artists and their endeavours into movement-on-screen.

This is a retrospective screening of street dance-centred films that have screened at FORM over the past 10 years. Each film creatively explores the unique ways that street dances such as hip hop, locking, w*acking, and breaking can interact with the camera. These films act as a living archive of street dance in Canada, commemorating the culture and people who shape the community.

Created by an all woman cast & crew, BOSSY is an energetic short film that celebrates the women in Toronto’s street dance community. The film highlights different generations with styles ranging from Hip Hop, Popping, Locking, Waacking, Breaking, and Krump. Glo Romy, the director of the film, is a Hip Hop dancer from Toronto who has battled across the city as well as having proudly repp’d abroad. The film is 4 minutes long and premiered in March 2024, in honour of Women’s History Month.
