Hillside Performing Arts raised the roof this weekend with an electrifying performance at the world’s biggest dance event, held at the ExCeL Centre from March 7th-9th, 2025. As one of the only community exhibitors, its presence was undeniable, showcasing raw talent and energy. Based in Stonebridge, Brent, this North West London-based community interest organisation brought 20 young performers to the event, which attracted over 10,000 visitors from across the UK and beyond. Hillside Performing Arts stole the show, seamlessly blending street style with technical precision. “Hillside Performing Arts is committed to expanding opportunities and raising aspirations through the arts,” said Cherrelle, HPA’s Director. “As part of our enrichment program, we’ve been working to create new pathways for young performers.” HPA collaborated with TikTok Icy and Romeo Britain's Got Talent Semi finalists 2023 for an unforgettable performance, while the showstopper on Saturday featured the HPA children delivering an electrifying, high-energy routine. The performance, set to a mix by producer Jamobeatz, brought an undeniable energy to the theatre. The weekend was also captured by the Shaka and Tee Podcast, which featured exciting interviews and engaging banter. Adding to the event’s creative flair, dancer and entrepreneur Anime Boss designed the group’s costumes through his own clothing brand. By taking grassroots talent to center stage, Hillside Performing Arts continues to make a powerful impact, proving that community organisations can shine on the world’s biggest platforms.
