Mari Raudsepp \u2013 Gqom <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mari Raudsepp introduces participants to gqom, a street dance style that emerged in the townships, on the streets, and in the nightclubs of Durban, South Africa. During the workshop, participants will explore the dance\u2019s expression, energy, and musicality through basic steps and grooves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This class provides an introduction to the two central styles of gqom dance:bhenga<\/strong>, which focuses on groove and upper-body movements, andijithi<\/strong>, which is characterized by fast, rhythmic footwork. The focus is on the joy of dancing, being present, and finding your own expression through the music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sami Hamami \u2013 Hip Hop <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sami Hamami works with the many forms of hip-hop dance and combines groove-based dance with floorwork. Through playful exercises and technical elements, participants explore rhythm, musicality, body control, and movement flows close to the floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on the social and creative traditions of hip-hop culture, Sami creates an inclusive workshop where participants can develop both their technique and their personal expression. This class is perfect for anyone who wants to try new ways of moving, whether you\u2019re new to the style or have previous experience. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
