Course Description
Summary
We will delve into the art of storytelling, a staple in Hip Hop culture and of African diasporic traditions, using dance forms under the Hip Hop umbrella. Together we will explore our range of artistry using codified techniques and freedom of self-expression. Together we will trail blaze what it means to make street dance work on many frontiers and bring light to the Hip Hop culture.
Advanced readings and viewings will be offered before each intensive. Our time will consist of learning the culture, terminology and rhythmic movement patterns of Hip-Hop Social, House, Locking and Popping. We will learn set choreography from JustSoleDance and engage in selected viewings and discussions. Classes will culminate in a cypher – freestyle circle – for us to collectively digest and express this incredible culture.
