The Workshops


House Dance

Saturday June 2 | 9:30 am - 10:45 am

Instructor: Apolonia Velasquez & Ofilio Portillo


House Dance directly connects to House music, a music genre that followed the disco revolution. The sound, rhythms and the messages contained have developed and a widespread culture has grown. Following a similar path, a hybrid dance evolved from the disco steps of the 70's and became influenced by Tap, Latin, African, Hip hop and other dance styles. Mainly, a combination of the Jack (originated from Chicago), the New York footwork, Stomping and Skating is what now forms the foundation of House Dance.
