A love that they shared for hip-hop combined, a powerful thread rooted in rhyme.

Movement Artists Keyierra Collins and Ambe'r Johnson will teach their choreography from the "Warehouse" Music Video, off Jovan Landry's EP World Vibe! This Afro-Contemporary Medley stems from Sabar, Afro Street, Chicago House, Afro-Footwork, Modern, and Groovin'.

"The inspiration for Warehouse derived from the very same nightclub that birthed Chicago House Music. This music genre was first popularized in the late '70s by DJ Frankie Knuckles, aka The Godfather of Chicago House. Allow the high pass filters and the draggy flangers to lead your body into a hypnotic sweat." -ABJZ.

This class is free, but donations for the artists are widely accepted!
