Beginner or professional: this class is for everyone. It's not how high you kick but why you kick!
Urban Jazz Dance is a convergence of artistic forces where RAW energy, ROOTED in FREEDOM, is expressed through the athletic BODY and UNCONTROLLABLE, PASSIONATE dance. Expect Ballet, Afro movement, plus more and even American Sign Language...the power of expression must be real. Taught by Award winning Deaf Dancer Antoine Hunter (hearing and Deaf are welcome to take class).
