HipHop/House
the diversity of not only the rhythms, but also the ways to express, move, and dance

Marjory whose dance education took place largely in the streets of New York started her international career dancing in a video for Diana Ross. Her teaching will begin with old school HipHop breaking down the dances, their names and origins. Her workshop will also integrate Classic House dance moves showing the development of the dance. As she could fuse different dance styles together forming her own unique style the students will spend some time with learning very special choreographies.



HipHop for Kids for 12-15 Years
feel it

Marjory‘s dance education took place in the streets of New York. The groove that makes her class so enjoyable, is based on her unique style and her haitian roots. She blends a mix of styles which also includes House moves. Her humor and patience makes her class fun for younger students.



HipHop & Afro
altogether ecstasizing!

HipHop and House cannot deny their origin! Who likes the popular music together with its dance is inspired by Afro. Complex rhythms combined with natural movements make African dances, Afro-Haitian dances and HipHop significant, although most Europeans would not recognize that fact right away. Strenuous, relaxing and ecstasizing at the same time!

Karine LaBel and Marjory Smarth want to introduce their inspiration and combination of HipHop-House and Afro-Haitian dance styles. The participants will have the chance to familiarize themselves with rhythms, key movements, style and feel of this new dance style.
