House Open Level 13yrs+ Tues

/in , /by

NEW CLASS ALERT!  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, and feeling the music and sharing with others. Prepare to move your feet and whole being, and work your brain-body connection.

If you loved “Music is the Answer” at the last showcase, then you will love this class!
