Created 6 years ago, by Michele Byrd McPhee, the Ladies of Hip-Hop Festival is annual tribute to women in hip-hop featuring performances and classes, celebration and conversation. Each year, the community gathers to take classes from world renown dance instructors and check out performances from some of the illest female dance crews. Celebrating the 5 year anniversary of the event, asked Stacey “Flygirrl” Wilson to join the team and expanded the festival to five nights of dance, live painting, performances, and more...
