Shupada
ShupaDa was formed in January, 2012, by Ayre Briar and JR,
so that they could create and perform collaborative pieces
together to supplement their own solo dance careers. The
name “ShupaDa” comes from the phrase, “Shut Up and
Dance!” We all tend to take ourselves a little too seriously at
times, forgetting to just enjoy life and have fun. ShupaDa’s
goal as a troupe is to put the focus dance and the many
benefits it can bring us creative expression, joy, freedom,
connection to others and better overall health.
