THE TUTORS
Our popping and locking tutors have years of experience teaching this specialised dance form in schools, youth centres and for dance companies. Many have also performed around the UK supporting acts such as Akon and appearing on various TV programs.
THE WORKSHOP
The Urban Edge popping and locking workshops begin with a thorough warm up using different warming up techniques and stretches.
Once all participants are warmed up and ready to dance, our professional tutor will start teaching some of the basic popping and locking moves suh as 'Gliding', 'Moonwalks' and 'Locks' which are featured in many urban music videos and streetdance shows.
Now the basics have been perfected, participants will be taught a dance routine including counts and a variety of popping and locking moves. The tutor will run through the routine using a step by step teaching technique giving participants time to grasp the moves as the routine progresses.
The popping and locking workshops can be rounded off with a dance battle or a freestyle circle, where participants will get the chance to perform what they have learnt and acheived throughout the workshop.
WORKSHOP SUMMARY
