HARMAN BAWEJA
Harman Baweja is one of Alberta’s longest-standing Hip Hop dancers and choreographers, with over 21 years of experience within the dance community. He is best known for his distinctive movement style—sharp, controlled, and heavily rooted in Animation—combined with innovative and creative choreography.
A pioneer of Animation in Alberta, Harman was the first teacher to introduce this movement style to the province in 2005. His dedication to the style has continued throughout his career, including the completion of Reality Check, a two-year intensive Animation program, further developing his technical knowledge, understanding, and approach to the art form.
Throughout his career, Harman has taught, performed, and adjudicated at dance studios, conventions, competitions, and events across Canada and internationally. His classes place a strong emphasis on technical development, musicality, and the history and foundations of Hip Hop and Animation, all within a fun, encouraging, and engaging atmosphere.
With a passion for both learning and teaching, Harman strives to create an environment where dancers are challenged, inspired, and encouraged to discover their own individuality and creativity.
