Walle Brown is back with classes on House, Breakin', and their roots:
To be clear, the cultural legacy of house stems from African American culture in Chicago and breakin is rooted in the African American and Latino (Predominately Puerto Rican) cultural enclaves of New York City. Both styles are have proliferated throughout the globe and are thriving as interculturally relevant forms of self-expression.
Walle Brown is back with Sunday Parkways! We'll combine some of the house dance and breakdance moves we learned last month into one skill session!
