Dunn’s inspiring style of teaching helps students to be confident, comfortable, and express themselves more freely through movement. Class begins with a high energy warm-up consisting of technique building exercises, followed by choreography designed to teach foundation and overall ease of movement in a positive and motivating atmosphere. The history of Hip Hop dance is taught providing students with information about the dance and culture. Students are taught Freestyle Hip Hop inspired by foundation dances including Popping, Locking, Breaking and House. Participants are encouraged to apply all techniques and perform to their utmost potential.
