Level 1 “House Basics” – Wednesday Nights in San Francisco @ ODC, 8pm-9pm

House Dance is an umbrella term referring to underground club styles originating in Chicago and NYC. House Dance is done to House Music. This class will introduce students to core movement styles including jacking, NYC footwork, and lofting. Jacking, the original style of house dance, comes from Chicago and incorporates body undulations akin to African dance. NYC footwork originated in the disco era of the NYC underground dance scene and has borrowed influences from, lindy, tap, hustle step, salsa and many other dance scenes. Lofting, the oldest of the house styles, includes soft sensual movements often performed on the floor. This is a basic class that will work on drilling foundation for those new to the dance.
Come get your feet wet in House Dance Basics so next time you’re in the club you can cut loose and bust a move!

Price: Drop-in $12, Seasonal Rates check with ODC

Main Instructor: ODie

Session Time: Every Wednesday! 8pm – 9pm (1 hour)

Level 2 “Mind Body FLO” – Saturday Afternoons in San Francisco @ City Dance Annex, 4:30pm – 6pm

Mind Body FLO Workshop
“Building on house dance steps/style and exploring freestyle concepts.”

Mind Body FLO workshops are a great next level dance class environment to begin building more dance structure and style off of your House dance foundation. It is highly suggested that all students new to house dance in general try to take “Level 1 house basics (Wednesday nights)” for at least one season. This class goes further than just House dance steps but also looks at building choreography as well as exploring freestyle concepts (for the dance cyphers). Mind Body FLO will give you more tools for your freestyle dance no matter what your foundational style is (house, bboy, pop, lock etc..). This class does have optional seasonal demo/showcases – students are encouraged to take part of showcases – they can be a lot of fun and very rewarding.

Price: Drop-in $12

Instructor(s): ODie & Tsunami

Session Time: Every Saturday! 3:30pm – 5pm (1.5 hours)

House Dance with Jardy Santiago (Soulsector)

House Dance – Monday Evenings in Los Gatos @ Dance Attack Studios, 8:45pm – 10:45pm

Jardy Santiago began by dancing hip hop in the Bay Area in the mid 1990s. He eventually joined the San Francisco based all styles dance crew, Soul Sector, in 2000. Around this time, Jardy frequently traveled to New York to experience house clubs, to dance, and learn about its culture. Jardy is responsible for being the first in California to teach New York house dance foundation.

As a member of Soul Sector, Jardy has performed all across the USA. Jardy competed in Juste Debout in France in 2006. He was a guest performer at House Dance International New York in 2007. In 2008, he jumpstarted the Philippines house dance scene. He has performed as a headliner for the San Francisco Hip Hop Dancefest from 2005-2009. In 2009, Jardy won Dance Delight, New York, along with Soul Sector and performed at Dance Delight in Osaka, Japan as well as Beat Box’s 10 year anniversary in Tokyo, Japan. That same year, he became one of the first dancers to teach New York style house dance in the birthplace of house music, Chicago. In 2010, he was the sole house dance battle judge and taught a workshop at Meeting Hip Hop in Brazil. In 2011, he became the first house dancer outside of Indonesia to be invited to Jakarta to lecture and teach. He also returned to the Philippines to further educate the community that has grown since his last visit.

Jardy is now on a mission to deliver the best dance tutorials on the internet.
