Be the Groove Classes at Actors Gymnasium

Be the Groove is excited to offer hip hop and body percussion classes this winter at the Actors Gymnasium in Evanston. The next session will begin June 13.

If you've ever been interested in taking hip hop or learning rhythm, this is the class to take.  (Or if you're just looking for something different and awesome to do, this class is probably for you too!)

Hip Hop:

Dancers at any skill level will be challenged by this extremely physical hip hop class. Students will learn popping, locking, funk-based movement, and other elements of contemporary hip hop. At students' request, the class may include elements of beatboxing. Taught by BTG ensemble member Nicole Pellegrino.
  • Beginning/Intermediate (10-15 years old)
    • Wednesdays 5:30-6:30pm
    • April 13–June 8
  • Intermediate/Advanced (Adult)

Body Percussion

Students will explore new ways to make rhythm using the body, including snaps, claps, footwork, beatboxing, and incorporating movement inspired by rhythmic dance styles like stepping, gumboot, and hip-hop. For the adult class, spoken word may be covered at students' request. Taught by BTG ensemble member Kevin Brown
