NEW YORK HIP HOP DANCE JUNKIES is a group of New York-based hip hop dancers consisting of students motivated by the culture, music, excitement and hot moves like you see on the streets and the screens today. Taught by rapper/dancer/choreographer Brandon C (see bio below), we offer classes for ages 10-adults. Beginners are our specialty but we are expanding to form a team of students who want to learn ongoing performance choreography. Our progressive and hugely popular Hip Hop 101 4dummies class consists of 1/2 hip hop club “shines” and 1/2 choreography, and is conducted on a progressive method wherein a new routine is taught during week 1 and continues through week 4. The improvement in dance activity is dramatic! Our classes are fun, affordable, energetic, friendly, upbeat and offer a great workout, and needless to say our student retention is amazing!
BIO – Brandon C., a/k/a “InvAsian”, developed a passion for dance at a young age, after he was recruited to dance for the National Dance Institute (“NDI”) under the direction of Jacques D’Amboise. Later, under the tutelage of Mia Michaels and several other renowned instructors at Broadway Dance Center (BDC), Brandon performed in Frank Hatchett’s Professional Children Showcase, “Let’s Go to the Circus”. Thereafter, he attended and graduated from the Professional Performing Arts School (“PPAS”) along with fellow alumni Alicia Keys, Claire Danes, and Sara Rue. Dance was Brandon’s major in junior high, and his curriculum included jazz, modern, tap, and hip hop. As he developed an additional passion and talent for rapping, hip hop culture and dance of course took precedence over these other dance forms. During his high school years Brandon continued to perform both in HS performances and outside venues, before moving on to Penn State where he became resident choreographer for the University’s hip hop performances. And although his music has taken up much of his time, Brandon’s dancing still seems to garner attention at the local clubs.
So come join us in this friendly class as you learn, have fun, let loose, and dance like no one’s watching! Register at:
