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.Class Experience
Beginner Level
Musicality is a dancer's ability to hear, interpret, and dance to all elements of a song. We started with the drums, now we'll explore the different types of common/recurring melodies so we can learn how to hear and use them when we freestyle. This class will help students identify the common elements of musicality in music. The teacher will also challenge the students with new moves and patterns. Students will play music themed games to train adn test their musicality :-)
Learning Goals
Students will explore different ways to dance with each type of musicality beat hit (First in freestyles, then in structured chains).Students will learn moves for each element and improve their overall rhythm and attention to detail in music.

Parental Guidance
My "Outschool Breakdance" Spotify playlist is an external resource available for all students. You'll need to create a basic account to access it for free (on shuffle mode) or a paid account to select specific songs from the list. 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.
Pre-Requisites
Returning students should have completed the first 3 camps (Foundations, Arsenal, and Cypher Camp)
Newer students must demonstrate an arsenal with 4 moves minimum for each category (Toprock, go-down, footwork, freezes).

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. Reviews
