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!

Level 2 “Mind Body FLO” – Saturday Afternoons in San Francisco @ ODC, 3:30pm – 5pm

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 $16, Seasonal Rates check with ODC
Instructor: Co FLO
Rotating Instructor: ODie
Session Time: Every Saturday! 3:30pm – 5pm (1.5 hours) |
