Break Dance Camp 2: Arsenal Building
What's included
10 live meetings
9 hrs 10 mins in-class hoursHomework
1-2 hours per week. All "homework" is referred to as "training" to reinforce the goal of building skills rather than the negative connotation that the word "work" has. Daily training is to upgrade their arsenals and practice new moves with the song of the day.Assessment
Learner progress is assessed by how well they showcase their sets at the end of camp without pause between movements or checking a piece of paper. (Muscle memory is the key)Class Experience
While students learn next level moves in each category while showing fun new ways to practice/train. While each week has a theme, each day will additionally have a valuable lesson for improving their form, confidence, and style. (Ex. Day 6 will have us train in our ability to recover from common mistakes). As before, the students will have daily worksheets to learn while taking breaks from physical activities. The worksheets cover cultural and technical knowledge to give my students a well rounded education in this art form. Students will also learn how to organize their new moves into sets to perpare them for solo performances whether in dance circles, talent shows, or family gatherings. Students will showcase their final sets at the end of the camp.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Music is a mix of hip-hop and funk, but has been screened for appropriate lyrics.
Wrist warm-ups/exercises will be required for learning/practicing the bottomrock moves. It is also advisable that students should wear comfortable shoes (sneakers) and clothes for dancing (not oversized). As well, students should have a clear open space for dancing and a distance from the computer that allows me to see them from head to toe in order to ensure they're doing the moves properly. A water bottle is also required for brief breaks.
Supply List
Students will need - KNEE PADS (solid investment at this stage) - yoga mat - a comfortable pair of indoor shoes (to protect their feet) - clothes they can move in (no over-sized clothing, no skirts, no dresses) - clear space to dance (non-carpet preferred, but not necessary) - distance from camera to so I can see their heads and feet are correctly doing the moves - Beanie style hat - folder to hold worksheets

Teacher expertise and credentials
I traveled around the world (40+ countries) while teaching and learning from the local dancers. Also, I was mentored by a world renown breakdancer while living in Korea for three years. This mentorship mixed with my experience and personal training has made me particularly knowledgeable and skilled in the topic.
