Sunday 10/25 - Add Style to Your Shuffling
3-4pm | (prerequisites: must already know Running Man + T-Step)

Take the moves you know and unlock a deeper understanding of how to manipulate, adapt, and stylize them to express what you want to express. This is the class where things go from feeling like “i’m doing moves” to “i’m actually dancing and interpreting the music through my movement.”

In this 1 hour crash course, you will:

• Explore key principles of stylization and how to create infinite variations out of moves you already know

• Gain a more thorough understanding of the creative process and mindset that goes into freestyle dance

• Learn drills and prompts you can repeat at home to improve your body control, technique, and creative thinking on the fly

• Expand (or start to create) your own style

Sunday 10/25 - Beg/Int Choreography
4-5:30pm | (prerequisites: running man, charleston, and t-step will help, or previous dance background that allows you to pick up moves quickly)

You know the moves, now get inspired with new ways to integrate them into your flow! This choreography will have a saucy, mixed-style shuffle base with a hip hop flare and LOTS of musicality moments. Choreography is a great tool to train your timing, angles, control, and transitions.
