DANCE CLASS: Hip Hop with Noelle

ABOUT THE CLASS

In this class students will engage in heavy rhythms, full body  warmup, strength training, and performative street style choreography.  Hip Hop class is designed to accentuate your natural essence of how you  embody movement, learning fundamentals of footwork, isolations, and  using your groundedness puts your body in a space to find freedom.

ABOUT YOUR TEACHER

Noelle Tolbert is a Baltimore-based performance artist and engineer  of movement that is inspired by feminine power, ancestral guidance, and  intuition. Her practice has been developed through a ongoing deep  connection to her community and the diverse audiences she engages with  through choreography, performance art, teaching, and interdisciplinary  collaborations.

As a teaching artist, Tolbert has been responsible for building the  youth dance program at Chesapeake Arts Center in Brooklyn Park which  serviced over 300 students and providing mentorship to PVA students  through professional development training and choreography at Brooklyn  Park Middle School.
