Join us in a one-time special event with Museum of Dance Artist in Residence, Antwan Davis, and Oakland-based Hip-Hop artist Marjorie Ortiz inside the Oakland Museum. In this four-hour workshop, your child will learn basic body percussion and hip hop dance vocabulary, and will be guided to successfully put steps together into their own creative sequence! This is a rare opportunity for your child to learn top-level skills from dance masters, in a process-oriented, playful, and encouraging setting. No previous dance experience is required.
