This course will focus on social dance styles while utilizing Hip Hop groves and improvisation. It is the intention of this course to give the students more confidence to dance in social situations. Dance styles that culturally and socially enter our lives through social media and social gatherings will be learned. Hip Hop dance will be used to support coordination and confidence through movement. Topics covered include Hip Hop dance technique (groove, rock, and bounce), social dance steps, line dances (social, country, hip hop, etc.), proper alignment, musicality, and improvisation. Although this course is designed for those without extensive dance experience, all levels are welcome.
