In the House Dance workshop, Kadance will teach participants the root movement of house dance, called jacking, which is an undulating, rhythmic movement of the torso. Students will then learn basic elements of house dance techniques including footwork (many of these foot patterns can be found in other styles of dance, but have a unique flavor, rhythm and style in house), lofting (free form, open movements often done on the ground that are similar to African and Modern dance techniques, and the Brazilian fight-dance called Capoeira), skating, and waaking (an interesting style of arm movements often associated with the Vogue style of dance popularized by Madonna).
Kadance will also teach participants how to freestyle (improvise) using house techniques, and find their own personal style within the movement. Personal style is of utmost importance in any style of street dance (hip hop).
Kadance peppers her movement instruction with rich cultural and historical knowledge about street dance styles. House is a style all its own, but often considered one of the many styles of hip hop or street dance.

Kadance is a performer, instructor, and choreographer specializing in street-dance styles including: hip hop, funk, salsa, samba, capoeira, and her forte, House a street-dance style born in Chicago. Her primary training has been in the authentic Chicago house-music scene, where she played an essential role in the development of a Chicago house-dance style called Hip House Jive, which combines the aesthetics of house and hip hop with the smooth partnering of salsa, lindy hop and stepping. Kadance has studied and traveled extensively in South America, particularly in Bahia, Brazil. Her distinctive house dance style is recognized for blending the hard, raw “Chicago-jack” and intricate footwork with the soft, sensual and undulating elements of Latin, African and Brazilian movement.

Studying with Kadance will DEFINATELY enhance any dance style you currently study!
And NO, you do not need to be in good enough condition for her to make you try to do the dance move she is doing in this picture. Hahaha!
There will be material suitable for all levels.
