Ill Skillz is determined to motivate and inspire today’s youth.

Here is how we do it:

The Ill Skillz Show
This is an award winning 45 minute show that targets young people in schools. The presentation consists of our Ill Skillz formula:

Education + Entertainment + Unique Delivery + Follow Through = SUCCESS.

This show is designed to engage and inspire young people. It begins with a motivational talk, followed by an explosive performance from world class dancers, and concluded by an interactive question and answer portion. After the Q&A portion, students and teachers will have the chance for a less formal interaction with the members of the group. At the end of the show, Ill Skillz will offer students several contact methods to keep in touch with our organization. This allows for much needed support in helping young people unlock their dreams. Through Ill Skillz, students watching the show may also have an opportunity to connect with Industry Professionals.

Ill Skillz Workshop
These one to five day workshops are tailor made to meet the needs of individual schools and can run from one day up to and including five days. Most workshops open with the "Ill Skillz Show", which will set a positive tone and openness to the workshops that follow. These workshops may include but are not limited to dance workshops, which can be run during gym class or as an after school activity as well as poetry workshops which are consistent with the literacy component of most curriculums. As always these sessions utilize the Ill Skillz "Edutainment" formula, which is a proven hit with staff and students alike. By the end of each workshop, a presentation of dance and spoken word are presented to the public to allow students an opportunity to showcase their talents and the dreams they may be just beginning to formulate with an eye to their future.

Ill Skillz Best High School Dance Crew Competition
This annual dance competition targets high school students with a focus on at risk youth. The competition challenges participating teams to create a dance set that will require 8-12 weeks of training and practice. This allows for a positive outlet where young people can express their creativity through dance. Trophies and prizes are awarded to the top 3 winners. The show is judged by well known choreographers and celebrities from Toronto. A brief motivational talk is delivered by Ill Skillz at the beginning of the show.

Ill Skillz Unlock Your Dreams Concert
The purpose of this concert is to inspire young people to follow their dreams. The performers are handpicked meticulously to reflect the theme of the show. Each performer(s) are obligated to present acts of inspiration and motivation, creating an atmosphere where the audience feel empowered. The performers are also required to be either living their dreams or are in the process of unlocking them. This qualifier enables Ill Skillz to present good role models to the audience. A brief motivational talk is also delivered by Ill Skillz at the beginning of the show.
