MEMPHIS JOOKIN\u2019, a dance style originally entitled gangsta walking, was created in the mid 80\u2019s to the sound of Memphis rap music. A loose, groovy, footwork based style; jookin\u2019 puts emphasis on who can walk the coolest or most \u201cgangsta\u201d. In this class, students will learn a well-rounded perspective on Memphis dance and music culture. One of the main characteristics is the idea of \u201cgetting buck\u201d or becoming extremely confidant, wild, and carefree. With this Memphis persona in mind, students will learn jookin\u2019 history, characters, foundational moves, combinations, and how to create their own movement within the style. This class will give a solid understanding and look into the Memphis jookin\u2019 style, as well as allow students personal growth through locomotive movement. Students will be able to transfer the movement into any form of movement expression.<\/p>\n
