Karma Groove (tm)

The notion of "you" in Karma Groove (tm).

I teach Hip Hop Style dance - the style I teach is influenced by Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul, Janet Jackson, Old School and New School styles, House and Video Dance and freestyle influenced by breakin', pop n'lock, expressive movement, reggae, and hence in appreciation for the current styles performed by Usher, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Marion, and Nee-Yo. Music that inspires the movement can truly be anything from Country, Metal, Jazz, Classical, Indie, New Age, Punk, Hardcore, Rock n' Roll, Classic Rock, and Alternative; however music typically used is similar and usually from Top 40, Club Hits, Old School Hip Hop, Hip Hop, R&B, Pop Hits, and Underground Hip Hop.

Karma Groove (tm) is a modified combination of Vinyasa Yoga- using the principles of stretching and connecting with our breath and gradually moving into a cardio dance workout with a small portion devoted to learning choreography. The choreography is original and is a Hip Hop Style dance.

Karma Groove (tm) developed as a natural combination of using the efficiency of yoga techniques in warming up and stretching the body before dancing. Emphasis is devoted to relaxing into one's breath and to clear the mind of judgement and to prepare for self expression while moving. Whether moving with the class, taking direction, the importance of the practice is moving through it- moving through the connections made with direction, choreography, rhythm and dancing. These connections are defined inside yourself. There is no right or wrong move in throughout the class. Each movement created in Karma Groove is correct when it comes from good intentions. Being kind to ourselves, releasing ourselves from judging our movements but feeling free to just move.
