Welcome to LeT tHe fUnk fLOw! History - this concept started September of 2006 as a way for me to get back in touch with my own freestyle. After dancing with a troupe for 10 years I was feeling like I lost a piece of what made me move and that it was OK to be different. I didn't have to look like everyone else. I could be "weird". So I developed a class that would embrace everything, every style and most important to stay true to what you feel. It's not always about the routine, but it's about the journey within your steps.
This class will discipline you with intense choreography and technique in street rhythm, while allowing you to let movements flow through your body. I am a mix breed of all styles. I can't be something I am not, I can only be what I am. So with me anything goes. I like to just stay true to myself. I may not be the most favorite or liked by all, but I know what I feel. What I feel is real. I have a gift to share and would love for you to embrace my flow.
Session is every Wednesday, broken up into 8 weeks. Yes walk ins are welcome. You will need to pay cash or personal check, no credit cards at this time. The session starts Jan 7th and you will need to have payment the first day in full.
Payment is non refundable and classes do not roll over into the next session. However, I do understand that things happen or come up and I am willing to work with you on any situation.

New in 2009! Professional Dancer / Instructor rate Guest instructor - end of each session Bring knee pads for floor work
We will start with a small warm up. Some days we will travel across the floor. Some days we will jump straight into choreography.
I would like to start when the vibe is right so please arrive early and warm up on your own. I will be ending a class and transitioning into this one so we may not start right at 8pm, but I don't want to start later than 8:10pm. The actual class will go till 9:45. Although it is scheduled till 9:30 the last 15 mins is what the class is all about.
Vibe time. The last 15min of class I turn the lights out and we just get to move and find our groove. Get in touch with your own movement. Get lost, become free, and allow yourself to "go there". It's also cool if your new and just want to learn to move at your next party or event but are to shy to do so. This is your time.
Video: I do make videos to promote the class and place them on youtube or now on dancemtv. The videos usually start off with me dancing in my kitchen and leads into the class. You have the right not to be in the video, just wanted to give you a heads up.
Performance - I have allowed students to perform with me in my last 3 productions! This is a great way to gain confidence and to prepare you for other performances you are trying to get into, or if you are trying to dance in a professional dance troupe. FYI: this is something that is earned by hard work and focus in class.
I am going on my 4th year and so excited! This year the class will be open to all levels, however I will teach this at an intermediate Advanced level pace. The movement will not be beginning at all so if you are a little intimidated you can try the beginning class that I teach right before 7-8pm please contact Vero Dance Studio / S.P.A.C.E to register for that class. www.verodancestudio.com www.spacentertainment.com
