Dancehall is a street dance that was born in Jamaica and it continues to develop. During this course, we will learn Jamaican unisex steps and choreography based on them.
Bring a water bottle and knee pads or leg warmers to the class to protect your knees.
Raphael Delarosa, aka Japs, is a Jamaican dancer and one of the most talented dancehall dancers. Japs dances in one of the most famous dancehall groups, BG Dancerz. Japs is recognised in Jamaica as a great dancer who is known for his own style and great creativity. While many other dancers take inspiration from each other’s moves, Japs is constantly creating new ones. Japs has created most of BG dancers’ moves, for example Oh Daamn, Get Active and Dutty Step.
As a teacher, Japs is encouraging and positive. During his classes, you will have great fun and you get to know authentic dancehall style.
Said about Japs’ classes: “I have liked Japs’ classes very much! Japs’ classes (especially choreographies) have been the best part of my autumn. Japs has a very nice dance style which has been interesting to learn about.
