In this workshop, we will explore and express who we are as dancers, establishing a positive mentality for navigating the creative tasks involved. Routines, trick techniques and dance battles will provide the opportunity for growth whereby each dancer can explore their own process of learning and expression in a safe, encouraging environment.
