Class: Chris Bonus, Justin Beiber: Intentions
Style: Hip Hop
Level: 2/3 (Intermediate/Advanced)
I
really enjoyed this class. The video is only seventeen minutes long. It
is taught in three sections. I paused at the end of each second, went
back and reviewed, then ran it over and over, until it was solid in my
brain. There is no cheating your brain when you are dancing alone on
your patio. There is no one in class to peek at. YOU have to remember
the moves and put them in your brain. So pause. Go back. Make up names
for the moves in your head or say right and left, clap clap, play the
guitar. Make it make sense to you.
Chris
Bonus is an awesome teacher. He once collaborated on a dance team piece
for Frank Hurt. I bet you didn't know that. Yes, back in the Simonne,
Andrew, Dream Dance days - we had Chris and I can't remember the name of
the other teacher - but I can see his face in my mind - really nice
human - they taught a piece for our senior team. That was a great year.
Good memories.
I
recommend this class to anyone who has been taking hip hop for a while.
This one is great to make your brain work. I was sweating and smiling at
the end of it... and I don't even particularly like JB - but I got into
this song. If you are newer to hip hop, you could still try it, just
learn one chunk at a time and repeat it over and over. Cool Beans? Chris
also says, "cool beans," in the video. Let me know if you try this
class and what you think.
