Event Details

JUNGLE CITY BASHMENT “For the first time, a Melbourne made live production ‘paying homage to Jamaican Dancehall culture’ featuring the crème of Melbourne’s Dancehalls scene”

Experience a night that pays homage to Jamaican Dancehall dance, music and culture in all its glory, and celebrates Melbourne's own dancers and artists who embrace it. From conscious Reggae to the 'slackness' of hard core Dancehall! This show explores every aspect of this uplifting yet controversial genre and culture that began on the streets on Jamaica and has spread all over the globe.

The Jungle City Bashment Live Show will showcase Jungle City dancers who were featured in a viral youtube advertisement created by MINI Cooper early this year, and Burncity Queenz who have been a household name in Melbourne's Dancehall scene for over five years. The show will also feature some of Australia's top dancers such as Nadiah Idris - featured in in the top 20 of 2014's season of So You Think You Can Dance; and an array of Melbourne based Dancehall artists such as Di Apprentice; Skaaki; and Yaw Mulatto as well as selectors Zare Demus and Sista Itations who will transform the Jungle City stage show into a proper bashment party that will continue into the night.
