House Open Level 13yrs+
House Dance is a style of dance that originated in the late 70’s and early 80’s from underground clubs in Chicago and New York. It reflects and comes from club music known as House, which evolved out of the disco era. House dance emphasizes fast and complex footwork combined with fluid movements in the torso. The style was influenced by several types of movement, including Tap, African dance, Latin dance, and martial arts.
This style is about freedom, improvisation, feeling the music, and sharing with others. Prepare to move your feet and whole being and work your brain-body connection.
This class will cover the foundation and be open to various levels, so there will be more basic coordination covered, and more complexity will also be layered on weekly to give students with experience a lot to embody and train with
House involves lots of footwork and weight transfer and will get you sweaty in no time.
We have two levels for House, see below for the difference.
House Open Level – Tuesday 7:30pm – If you love good beats, love to move your feet and whole being, and are ready to sweat and get down, this is for YOU! This class will cover foundation and will be open to a variety of levels, so there will be more basic coordinations and more complexity will be layered on as well. Just know that House involves lots of footwork and weight transfer. Cardio! This choreo session is appropriate for dancers with some prior dance experience, not a total beginner class.
House Intermediate – Wednesday 7pm – This class will build on the foundation, adding more complexity and speed to choreography. It is appropriate for dancers with dance experience, we will be doing faster-paced weight transitions and choreo, more complexity in each routine.
