Dance Here. Hip-Hop. | H+ Community Class
The Hip-Hop Dance Conservatory (H+) in conjunction with No Longer Empty present "Dance Here. Hip-Hop." for the exhibition "This Side of Paradise" at The Andrew Freedman Home. H+ Curator of Works, Yvonne Chow, promises it to be “a celebratory day of full-sensory exploration in an art form and cultural invention that was birthed in the Bronx, and has now culturally diffused across theglobal sphere!”
“Dance Here. Hip-Hop.” will commence at 11:30AM with the acclaimed H+ Community Class in the Grand Ballroom. Opento dancers of ALL levels, this class is a structured, disciplined, caring, nonjudgmental environment that takes you through the foundational cornerstones of the art: Popping, Locking, Boogaloo, Breaking, Rocking and Party Dances! The class will then move to the Billiards Room from 2:00PM-3:00PM. Community Class guests will have the rare opportunity to ask conservatory students questions regarding their profession and career trajectory. AK47 mini-documentaries detailing the conservatory student's intensive training and high standard pedagogy will provide more insight and context. Light refreshments will be served.
