The beginner-level workshop is suitable for starting dancers who have some dance experience in any style or another movement background. In the class, you will be introduced to steps created by Jamaican dancers and the multifaceted movement language of dancehall.
The intermediate-level workshop is suitable for those who have previously attended dancehall classes. In the session, you will deepen your dancehall knowledge, skills, and flow, and dance together with others to a sequence designed by Japs that combines the right balance of challenge and fun.
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.”
