Comparative Hip-Hop Dance Practice and Aesthetics

This advanced studio course explores the Hip-Hop dance aesthetic from multiple perspectives, in order to help students develop their own personal relationship to the culture and its influences. Structured around a series of guest workshops by dancers from a range of Hip-Hop dance traditions, the course will engage with these forms on their own terms, but also with an eye towards exploring the more abstract artistic options that Hip-Hop dance offers.
