Program Description

Event Details

Grades 3-8 - Chicago Dance Crash presents this highly-interactive performance focusing on the history of various hip hop dance styles, including popping, waving, funk, breakdancing, and more.  Learn about the development of this now iconic dance style, from its early start in freestyle back in the 1960s to the choreography seen in today's popular culture. Throughout the performance, audiences will join in as dancers demonstrate these exciting techniques, and get a chance to show off their own moves during a classic Soul Train.
