LLDAN 226 - Hip Hop for Club Dancing

Get a great workout and more as we explore hip hop from its roots up in this energetic and culturally aware class. 'Hip hop' refers to both a musical and political movement that has developed predominantly over the last quarter-century. Since first emerging, hip hop has grown to encompass not just music, but an entire lifestyle that incorporates ethnicity, technology, and urban life. Now you have the opportunity to experience this culture through detailed instruction by Eddie Santos. You will learn steps and combinations as well as 'popping and locking' and the body movement that sets hip hop apart from other dances. By the end of class, you'll be ready to show off what you've learned at a night club or party! Eddie has been dancing hip hop since the age of 10. He started in Veracruz, Mexico, as a part of a hip hop/ break dance group and performed at numerous local television shows, talent shows, and carnivals.
