Learners will learn and train basic popular steps each week. This class is for learners who would like to test out Afro Dance & see how knowledgeable they are before entering Afro Dance (8-13) or Learn Afro Dances from TikTok. In this class each day will be a different step or nuance that is essential to Afro Dance. This is NOT a choreography based class. This class is dedicated to learners who need extra help with the basic steps listed below. Video tutorials of me dancing the steps will be uploaded into the classroom as well for learners to practice on their own time as well. Please join the Afro Dance & Urban Culture Club to stay motivated and up to date with any trends. Week 1: Understanding different types of African Urban Sounds (example: South African, Nigerian, Ghanaian, DR Congo & Angola) + Azonto Week 2: Hips & Waist mobility (Become more flexible & understand nuances of moving your hips & waist) + Gweta Week 3: Footwork introduction + Shaku & Zanku Week 4: End of Month Quiz + Pilolo

Teacher expertise and credentials
Conkrete Jungle Productions Inc. is a performing arts non- profit incorporation that allows and offers underground artists in the Tri-state area a space to showcase their work and grow as an artist. Conkrete Jungle was founded August 2015 by an artist-dancer, Régine Bellinger from Brooklyn, New York and co-developed by Artistic Director Marcel March from Rockland, New York. Bellinger and March saw that there wasn't a space for underground Choreographers and Dancers to be accepted as they are. Oftentimes artists are type-casted, which is the normalcy of the industry, but we wanted to challenge that by hosting an annual Choreographers Showcase presenting raw and underground talent. We created the Virtual Dance School through Outschool to teach Afro Dance & Afro Latin Dance by professional dancers from New York's performing arts industry. We host virtual showcases for your little ones throughout the year on Outschool & get them geared & ready to enter the performing arts community!Reviews
