Kimberlee Jay (UK) Will Be Teaching A Dance Masterclass On:
Monday 12th July 2010at 8.30-10pm
Created by Kymberlee Jay, her signature style is a fusion of more aggressive Krump inspired movement with the hype of the New Jack swing style and the precision of popping isolations. Taught using contemporary hard hitting hip-hop tracks.
Tuesday 13th July 2010 at 8.30-10pm
The most recent addition to the street dance genre, Krump is a solo style created in South Central Los Angeles by young people needing a positive outlet for a negative emotion. The movement style is dark, aggressive and high impact. Often the style is misunderstood and it is assumed that there is little or no technique behind Krump. In actual fact, there are a number of techniques within Krump which enables the style to be passed allowing style innovation and evolution. Krump is an emotional style, facilitating stress release and promoting positive utilisation of aggression. Examples of Krump on the commercial scene can be seen in music videos by artists such as Chris Brown and Missy Elliot. Krump is often taught using dark and evocative hip hop music, much of which is not currently available commercially.
Where: YMCA
Cost: €15 Or €25 For Both Dance Masterclasses
