House dancing is a social dance done to house music. The dance started in the house clubs of New York in '87-’88. It is foot-oriented with fluid hips and incorporates many different styles of dance including hip hop, b-boying, Salsa, capoeira, African, tap, ballet, modern, etc. House dancing is made of 3 different styles: jacking (a wave like motion of the upper body), footwork (complex feet and stepping patterns), and lofting (ground movements). This class will be focusing on the jacking and footwork elements of house, with a bit of the lofting time to time.
