About the event
Does your spirit feel like something is missing? Do you need a place to express yourself and want to build a stronger core physically and spiritually without overextending yourself? Need to dance with a live drum? Then you came to the right place. Beginner or professional: this class is for everyone. It's not how high you kick but why you kick! Â Urban Jazz Dance is a convergence of artistic forces where RAW energy, ROOTED in FREEDOM, is expressed through the athletic BODY and UNCONTROLLABLE, PASSIONATE Â dance. Â Expect Ballet, Afro movement, plus more and even American Sign Language...the power of expression must be real. Â Â Taught by Award winning Deaf Dancer Antoine Hunter (hearing and Deaf are welcome to take class).
