Cumbia & Latino

Cumbia is a traditional Colombian dance that uses a lot of hip and skirt movement to help showcase a dancer's feminine and graceful side. The dance is slower than most dances, but has fast feet movement and requires a lot of hip movement, spins, twirling, and large arm movements to move the skirt around.

Hip Hop
|
Hip hop originated in the Bronx, New York City and has become an urban art form that is embraced all over the world. Hip hop is a free movement that includes many different dance moves. Wide ranges of dances are considered hip hop. Popping, locking and breaking are the fundamentals of hip hop. There are two categories of hip hop today. The street category includes krumping, jerking and turfing. The studio category includes jazz-funk and lyrical hip hop. In this hip hop dance we combined forms of both studio and street hip hop as well as integrated popping and locking movements throughout the piece. Although, the most important thing in dancing hip hop is putting your own spin on it and really making it what you want to make it.
West Indies

The West Indies is comprised of most of the small islands in the Caribbean Sea; from Cuba and Haiti to Barbados and the Grenadines. Although there are so many different cultures to our name, we come back together with a mix of Carib dancing inspired by all of them. A few dancehall moves from Jamaica, some salsa flare from Puerto Rico, and even Carnival shakes from Trinidad; our dance comes from everywhere under the island sun.
