URBAN KIZ LEVEL 1 BEGINNER SERIES Join our weekly beginner series starting THIS MONTH!! Instructor: ✨Jessica Marie✨ ———————————————————- 🔹Urban Kiz Level 1 Series🔹 This series curriculum was a co-collab between The Kiz Lab and Jovan aka DJ Cassanova from The Golden Standard. Shoutout to DJ Casanova for helping us grow our community! This series is designed to be progressive to give students a solid understanding of Urban Kiz fundamentals. It is open to students who have never danced Urban Kiz before and want to feel confident with the basics but also to more advanced students who want to upgrade and refine their technique! In typical Kiz Lab style, we will be teaching the “peanuts” of basic moves in order to break down the technical concepts behind leading and following. This will help students gain a deeper understanding of Urban Kiz and will allow them to build upon these foundational “peanuts” to more easily learn more complex moves! ➡️Thursdays in October (13th, 20th, 27th): 7:30pm - 9:30pm 🌎Where: Omni Studios (formerly known as Flying Studios) 4834 Telegraph Ave, Oakland, CA 94609 ———————————————————- 🚨: LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE: 🚨 We are only allowing 14 people dancers total because we want to foster the optimal learning environment so students can grow quickly.
