JFK
exclusively offers an affordable and unique dance/personal development program
to young people ages 10-19 who want to become performers or just have fun
learning age appropriate, cool, hip-hop moves!
Come
and see us in action!
Principal Instructor: Katherine Traver
Curriculum:
Education
Our
program offers classroom discussions on dance terminology, cultural awareness
and the history of hip-hop. Our
focus is not only to ensure our young people learn the proper lingo or how to
identify and appreciate other traditions but to
guide them toward the positive aspects of the hip-hop culture.
They are
exposed only to the acceptable kinds
of hip-hop music, movements, and clothes that truly reflect the roots of the
hip-hop culture.
Dance
The
dance aspect of the program focuses on teaching hip-hop dance and techniques,
various dance styles, routines and stage presence skills.
Each participant will learn how to entertain an audience through
artistic freedom and choreographed shows.
Personal
Development
The
developmental part of the program focuses on mastering life skills to promote
self-expression, self-determination and self-esteem.
One of our goals is to create an environment that will allow us to
awaken and inspire each dancer’s artistic energy.
We
will also do calisthenics and stretching to build strong and flexible dancers.
As these skills are mastered, proper nutrition for good health and well
being will be emphasized.
Class Schedule:
There
is a regular hip-hop dance class offered every Friday from 5-7pm for those who
want to have fun. We also have
dance crew rehearsals twice a week on Fridays from 5-7pm and Sundays 1-3pm for
those interested in training to perform with "The Ultimate Youth Dance Crew"
this summer.
