ELECTRIC SLIDE WORKSHOP WITH JUSTINE A. CHAMBERS

Justine Chambers teaches attendees The Electric Slide. The Electric Slide is a popular 18-to-22 step line dance created by choreographer Richard "Ric" Silver in 1976 for a New York City club, set to Bunny Wailer's "Electric Boogie".

Justine A. Chambers is a dance artist and educator living and working on the unceded Coast Salish territories of the Skwxwú7mesh, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations in Vancouver, Canada. Her practice is a collaboration with her Black matrilineal heritage, and extends from this continuum and its entanglements with Western contemporary dance and visual arts practices. Her research attends to individual and collective embodied archives, social choreographies of the everyday, and choreography and dance as otherwise ways of being in relation. Chambers’ work has been hosted at galleries, festivals, and theatres nationally and internationally, and she is the 2025 recipient of the VIVA Award. She is an Assistant Professor in the School for Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University and Associate Artist to The Dance Centre, Vancouver, BC. Chambers is August Tyler-Hite’s mother.
