SIN Cru - the Cambridge Based Hip Hop Arts Collective

SIN Cru stands for 'Strength in Numbers' and is a Hip Hop collective working in dance, visual arts, theatre, film and music. We provide workshops, perform on stage and work with arts and education providers on creative and learning projects.

Why the community needs this charity

Hip Hop is the central part of a creative culture which encourages people to use the arts as part of their learning and development. SIN Cru stimulates people to enjoy the positivity of dance, visual arts and music.

Results and outcomes

SIN Cru works with young people to show them the benefits that creativity can bring to their lives. Participants are encouraged to improve their expressive abilities, co-ordination, communication skills, team-working, confidence and health.
