Hip Hop IV

Catalog description

Focuses on application of various stylistic, technical and performance techniques expected at an advanced level in various forms of hip hop. Expects students to clearly articulate (in their words and bodies) hip hop as the embodiment of two or more dance styles rooted from the dance scenes of underground, street and/or club dance counterculture. Deepens understanding of the form through performance of the movement within cultural community context, 'the studio,' and within other community-oriented settings. It is through performing in these venues where students draw connections to help develop a nuanced mode of training within the studio.
