House 1: Series Week 5 Sun, Feb 23 2:00 pm Sugar Swing 19.00 Beginner. House! Danced to a variety of electronic, urban, funk, and house music, it’s a groovy and fun type of street dance and urban dance style that came out of the nightclubs in the 1980s and 90s. It's current and ever evolving. Often confused with hip-hop and break dancing, you’ve probably seen it. Our urban dances are currently instructed by Thato X. Thato has trained in many styles of House and Hip-Hop dance from popping, tutting, house, locking and break dancing. As one of the original members of Edmonton’s own White Chocolate Dance crew, Thato has opened and performed for artists such as: Chris Brown, Ludacris, Ne-Yo, Ashanti, Ginuwine, Sean Paul, Kreesha Turner, The Game, Nelly Furtado, Obie Trice, 112, Boyz II Men, Fabolous, K-Ci & JoJo, Chingy, Sean Desmond, Massari, Gary Beals, Rochester, and Snoop Dogg!
Sprung Hardwood Floors + AC : We have a great facility with unique sprung hardwood floors, and AC! It is subtle, but if you dance on these floors for more than an hour versus most other dance floors, your joins and muscles will definitely appreciate it! The air conditioning certainly helps, especially when it gets warm outside.
Instructors Choice : Each class is individually designed by the instructors, based on the make-up of the class and what was not covered or what needs to be reviewed. Ie, they do not work off a curriculum Tap 2: Part A Week 4 Sun, Feb 23 2:30 pm Sugar Swing 19.00 After having completed level 1 and are feeling really confident with that material, you can consider our Tap 2 classes!
