We believe Ottawa houses some of the most promising dancers and hope to be part of the city's growth! After8 is a project launched by dancers Brian Tong and Miambi Kasse inspired by the ever growing urban dance scene, and showcases seen in bigger cities such as "Club Jete" in L.A., "Fever After Dark" in Toronto and "The Main Event" in Vancouver. The name “After8” was originally thought of by Jonat
han Ash and Miambi when a similar project was in the works. The name was inspired by the well known chocolate bar, and came with the slogan “Dark Chocolate Show, Peppermint Party!”. When the project ran into hiccups, with the original venue closing down and no luck finding a new one, it took the back burner. Brian Tong worked on a project of his own by the name of “XO Showcase” which took place at the Shenkman arts center in Orleans. Wanting to continue in the same direction, but towards a new audience, Brian linked up with Miambi and joined forces. They were able to revive the idea and had their first showcase on January 21st 2017, keeping the name “After8”.
