This all style street dance class will explore concepts from house, waacking, popping, contemporary and breaking. Through these dance forms we will practice isolations, grooves , musicality and footwork. The class will be informed by the rich history of street dance and the social and cultural context and movements that influenced these many dance styles. Through the isolation work we will try to liberate varying sections of our bodies to explore new avenues for movement. Each person in the class will be encouraged to investigate their own style and take on the movements shared in class.

To the sounds of some funky tunes we will waack, pop, jack and skate through the space. 
Please bring running shoes.
