Alexandra 'Spicey' Landé
choreographer, Artistic Director, and Dancer in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Vibrating to the sounds of Hip Hop, my love for street dance began in the late 80’s. I have studied and taught Hip-Hop dance for 20 years now and am a well known choreographer in Canada. I have long been concerned with creating a platform for Montreal street dancers to showcase their talent to the greater international dance community. To help with my mission I founded Bust A Move, the biggest street dance competition in Canada, which was presented at Tohu every year in Montreal. Bust A Move Festival became a leader in its genre in Canada and 2015 marked it’s 10th and last anniversary. For the past ten years, Hip Hop culture has been at the forefront of my work. I have had the pleasure of working on the Michael Jackson Immortal tour of Cirque du Soleil in 2011 as a street dance instructor and consultant. That same year I took part of Nico Archambault’s Ils Dansent on Radio Canada as a teacher and choreographer. 2015 marks my return on tv as a judge for Eurovision Young Dancer in Czech Republic on Czech TV. With Ebnflōh dance company, I have built a language that reflects my vision of dance and I surround myself with peers who inspire me.
