concept of the hiphop sessions

What stays the same:

teaching some hiphop choreo’s and making a short show. Pay attention to details of the choreo. Teaching them New Style.
Give them assignments and let them built their own choreo’s. I want different styles in the show.

What is new:

Danspunt gave me the next assignment (cfr. Dirk D’hoe, Artistic Director Danspunt): “built a short dance routine using improvisations and working towards a show with a real audience. Make sure that they can keep making dances when u leave and lay contact with a hiphop choreographer that can join this project”.

I decided to do it like this:

-First 4 days: looking for talent between the young dancers.

-On Friday: picking out max 6 dancers and learning them how to built a hiphop choreography by using the following:
Different possibilities to built a hiphop choreo
Teaching them choreographic elements on how to improve your choreo
Basic First aid techniques
Analysing music + barcode-methode
Basic principles of teaching (cfr objectives, 5 basic things)
Using correct dancing terms. (vakterminologie)
Philosophy of the hiphop culture as I know (very subjective off course)

-Start the 2nd week with teaching them these basic principles.

-4days a week, 1 hour. Give them assigments by using the things they learned from me.

finding a local hiphop choreographer to continue teaching the dancers in the future.

making a year plan for that teacher so when a Belgian choreographer is coming back in some months, he knows what the level will be of the dancers.

finding locations to do some shows so they get used to dance in front of an audience.
