LOS ANGELES - Aug. 30, 2016 - PRLog -- Box of Hope takes its title from a little red box used by Versa-Style co-artistic director Leigh Foaad as a prop for a solo dance piece. "That red box inspired us," explains co-artistic director, Jackie Lopez. "It reminded us of Pandora – about how all the bad things escaped when she opened her box. When she was able to shut it, the only thing left inside was Hope."

"Hip-hop is special because it crosses color and socioeconomic barriers to create a haven where people can come together for a common passion," Lopez says. "When I was a little girl, I never thought I could dance professionally. I take great pride in being able to offer these opportunities to Latino and African American youth in our communities. Versa-Style is a unique company, and we are thrilled to be able to share our joy, social consciousness and love of dance with Ford audiences."
