Dancehall is a street dance that was born in Jamaica and it continues to develop. Dancehall is a combination of tight accents, explosive energy, smooth movement and, above all, attitude.
Dancehall Queenstyle
During Dancehall Queenstyle classes, we will concentrate on women’s own style: attitude, girl movements/steps and acrobatics, depending on the level. Bring a water bottle, indoor dancing or training sneakers and knee pads or even leggings to protect your knees.
Female Dancehall
Female Dancehall classes focus on the feminine style of dancehall and especially on attitude and expression – without forgetting wining (i.e. hip rotation) and other hip techniques. Authentic girl moves and steps developed by Jamaican dancers form the basis for the sequences and choreographies performed in the classes. There are no acrobatic movements in the Female Dancehall class, so you don’t need knee pads with you to the class.
Dancehall Party
Dancehall Party is an energetic and fun dancehall class, where the moves are mainly learned to the beat of the music. During the classes, we will practice today’s most popular dance moves of Jamaican dancehall parties. In Jamaica, dancehall parties are social dance events, where the partygoers dance each move to the song that goes with it. These classes are guaranteed to develop your dancehall knowledge, skills and flow. The class has an open level, so also the new dancehall enthusiasts are welcome to join.
The autumn term has started, but there’s still time to join our weekly classes! We regularly review the basics, so you can join even mid-season. No previous dance experience is needed for beginner-level classes.
