TEDxPhnomPenh - Tiny Toones & Romi Grossberg - Dance Your Life Around

Romi Grossberg is the General Manager at Tiny Toones, a local non-government organization in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Tiny Toones offers not only an educational program but also a greater focus on the creative elements of dance, music, and art. Hip-hop, break-dancing, and rap are used as tools for engaging with street kids and the disadvantaged youth of Phnom Penh as a medium understood best by many teenagers worldwide. While the performance that has been prepared for TEDxPhnomPenh showcases Tiny Toones dancers, this presentation is about much more than just the people you will see. It is about the power of dance as a tool for expression and empowerment. It is about how dance can be used to turn negative life experiences or emotions into positive energy. The dancers have choreographed a dance piece based on true-life experiences to show you how you too can "dance your life around." This special presentation will feature Romi Grossberg, plus a video interview with Tuy Sobil, aka "KK," and a performance by the Tiny Toones dancers Fresh, Homie, Diamond, Slick, Flip, Kha, Flex, and Jacky; MC Beaver, and music composition by Manner.

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, "ideas worth spreading." The program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level.
