Hip Hop Convene: Versa Style Workshop - Fundamental Street Dance

The Versa-Style Workshop offers an immersive introduction to a range of street dance styles that inspire the company's professional performance repertoire. Styles explored may include Popping, Locking, Hip Hop, House, and other foundational street dance forms. Depending on the session, workshops may focus on a single style or explore multiple styles within one class.

Participants will engage with core movement principles such as groove, rhythm, musicality, and foundational vocabulary, while learning how these elements translate into both freestyle and choreography. Cultural and historical context is woven throughout the workshop to deepen understanding of the styles and their origins, while offering insight into the movement language seen in Versa-Style's stage work.

Designed to be accessible, informative, and physically engaging, the workshop welcomes dancers of varying experience levels.
