Brian Tong

“The best kept secret is Ottawa. Open the right doors and you’ll find the good things and that’s what inspires me.”

Brain’s journey began as a performer as he worked to incorporate dance into festivals like Winterlude, Escapade and WE Day. He grew into a creator, choreographing hip hop routines in studios across the city. Dance is a way of life for Brain, whether he is helping to mould young dancers in the studio or supporting urban arts in the city he calls home at festivals like House of Paint, or Hip Hop International.
