Class Description
NBA Prostyle: (Adv. Beginner) Want to train like an NBA dancer? Then this class is for you. Class begins with a thorough warmup including isolations, grooves, and stretches. Afterwards we learn a combination, grab our Poms, and hit the floor like we're performing on the parquet of your favorite NBA basketball court.
Street Jazz: (Adv. Beginner) This class covers a large scope of commercial dance. Pat has developed a unique Street Jazz genre that pulls from his training primarily in Hip-hop and Jazz. Class begins with a thorough warmup with isolations, grooves, and stretches. Then a combination is taught and broken down before ample time is left to execute and perform the choreography.
