Old School Jazz Dance meets Old School Hip Hop Dance
Swing and Hip Hop have a lot in common: historical, musical, cultural and dance wise.. Both dances offer a lot more possibilities for self expression, improvisation and community than most other dances. How well those two dances and music styles can inspire and enrich each shows this video:
In our second festival in southwest Germany we are bringing the Swing and the Hip Hop Dance communities together and are looking forward to have a blast with you and get crazy!
