What?
Solo Soul and Line Movements
Need a refresher on classic Soul movements or never tried them before? We'll cover a variety of Soul moves through the use of solo drills, doing them in line dances, and keeping a move alive down the line (Soul Train style). Come ready to express yourself and enjoy some of the funkiest moves the Soul era has to over.
Doing The Bop
Using the fundamentals of Soul Bop dances like STL and Chicago Bop, we'll help you incorporate Soul movements you already know (or learned in hour one) into fantastic partnership movements and connections that give you freedom to move and explore with a partner.
Who is Kenneth Shipp?
Kenneth Shipp hails from St. Louis, MO as an instructor who grew up dancing hip-hop and DJing breaking comps before jumping into blues. He has spent the past few years passionately studying the family of blues idioms, incorporating his nerdy personality along the way. Kenneth’s life experiences inform his dancing and teaching style so that students walk away with a better historical and contextual understanding. With every class and practice, he'll encourage you to approach social dancing with coolness, relaxation, or in other words “Chill The F$%& Out.” When he’s not dancing, you can likely find him ranting about the latest blockbuster movie, game, or nerd convention, or desperately trying to dismantle toxic institutions.
