Class Descriptions
Keen on being clean, Kenichi’s class focuses on clarity through movment; musicality, and textures. This street style class will help dancers excel in picking up choreography mostly in an urban choreography environment and, though some intimidation but may be created from the intricacies, the tension is always broken by the good and warm vibes in class.
