Elders Only – Creative Caribbean Movement with Kendra J. Ross-Click Here to-Register Now

Multiple Dates: Starting Wednesday - July 1, 2020 @ 10:30 AM EDT

$FREE

About this Event

Come explore the ways dances of the divine spirits of the African Diaspora of the Caribbean can inform the essence and personality of creative movement. This slow paced fusion class will use traditional folklore movements that represent varying themes such as play, passageways, flow, beauty and strength as a foundation to color and inform a modern dance combination. The class will begin with a gentle warm up that includes body articulations, isolations and flow to prepare the body to move. Next, students will learn traditional folkloric movement taught at a pace dictated by students with a number of variations offered to accommodate varying mobility levels. The folkloric movements will be the base for the combination that is co-created by the teacher and students. The class will finish with light stretching to allow all the work to settle in. All ages and mobility levels welcome.

About this Event

Discover the roots of Hip-Hop and learn classic moves that continue to inspire movement today. Influenced by trends of the 70's, Hip-Hop built a solid foundation celebrating the voice of the voiceless. Explore styles such as Breaking, Popping, Locking, Rocking and New Jack Swing in relation to Disco, House and even Salsa rhythms. Comfortable clothes and sneakers are required, along with an open mind. If you have any health conditions that may interfere with fully participating in the session, please notify Cumbe prior to attending so Rokafella is aware and can make necessary adjustments.
