This dance was inspired by the pop culture at that time including the movie stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood and is heavily influenced by the DJ. It is characterized by authentic expression of self, dramatic poses, precise musicality, intricate arm movements, and story-telling.\u00a0

In this one hour open levels class, we will explore the foundations of this dance through different exercises using grooves, drills, movement sequences and history. The goal is to give you tools for you to practice on your own, at the club or at the community sessions and events with confidence, in a supportive and fun environment!\u00a0

Each class is led by either Mystique or Ell\u00e9gance.
