Hip Hop Enthusiasts Invited to "Bite" Moves From NYC Choreographer Dister Rondon and Help Support Japan Relief Efforts
Online, March 25, 2011 (Newswire.com) - A rare opportunity exists for members of the public to attend a Hip Hop workshop in Warren, RI with NYC choreographer Dister Rondon.
Rondon, both an artist and choreographer, has worked with Fantasia and has choreographed ads for the Gap, Apple and Verizon.
No experience is necessary to attend his one-day workshop on April 9, 2011. A portion of proceeds from the event will go to Japan relief efforts.
The Just Dance! studio, located at Warren's 426 Fitness center will host the dance workshop as part of a regular workshop series, which runs through the summer.
Sherry Winn, owner of Just Dance!, says she expects the workshop will appeal to people interested in different styles of dance generally, including dance teachers, students and also those who like to watch or play music/dance videos or games.
"It's a rare opportunity, because typically people would have to travel to a dance convention to get this caliber of teaching," says Winn.
"It will really appeal to people who want to enhance their dance experience and knowledge or just have fun. It's an opportunity to come out and try Hip Hop without making a big commitment."
Rondon says he is motivated to teach Hip Hop as it helps eliminate misconceptions about the dance forms, culture and history.
"No student will be asked or expected to master any of these styles. This is a genre that requires the same amount of time energy and dedication as Ballet or Tap," says Rondon.
"Students are only asked to show respect for the culture and be willing to participate when and if they feel comfortable."
Rondon's Hip Hop workshop will be held from 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday April 9, 2011 at the Just Dance! studio in 426 Fitness at 426 Metacom Ave., Warren, RI. The cost is $30, with a portion of proceeds going to relief efforts in Japan. People planning on attending should email or phone Sherry Winn on: swinn11@cox.net or 401-486-4478.
Other upcoming workshops include: a Master Street Jazz Class with Jackie Henderson on April 16, 2011 from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. and a Contemporary workshop with Katie Worthington on Saturday May 7, 2011 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. A four-week Cardio Ballet series will be offered on Mondays from 6:00 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. beginning April 4th, and no dance experience is necessary.
Just Dance! workshops are open to teachers and students from other studios as well as anyone just looking to have fun.
Just Dance! offers a range of dance instruction including Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern for ages 2 years to adult in a non-competitive environment. Other class offerings include Lyrical, Pointe, Hip Hop, Acro and Creative Movement.
Winn says: "Dance helps develop positive self-esteem, enhances coordination, encourages positive social skills, assists with self discipline and attention span as well as can build life-long friendships. Dance is a love and passion that serves as a creative and emotional outlet that we at Just Dance! strive to create and nurture in our students."
In addition to her dance certifications, Winn has certification in Personal Training, Kids and Teen Fitness, Water Rowing and Pilates I and II.
