Students will explore an hour of high energy movement rooted in the vernacular of Baltimore Club dancing. In the 1980's, Baltimore Club dancing was derived from the direct influence of the music genre of Baltimore house music, a blend of Hip Hop and Chopped Staccato House Music. Each class will fuse the movement language of footwork, vibrations throughout the body and polymovement conversation between the upper and lower extremities of the body that synchronize with many traditional West African dance forms.
