This class series, curated and taught (except for the classes noted below) by dance program alum Liam Lynch ’21, develops a diverse understanding of foundational techniques in street and club dance. With an emphasis on physical techniques, the class exposes dancers to a multitude of dance styles including hip-hop, house, and popping. Through the sessions, students will understand the basic techniques of street dance and will also be challenged to synthesize elements of groove, musicality, texture, footwork, and personal expression in their own individual improvisation. All experience levels welcome.

Liam Lynch grew up in New Jersey, where he learned to dance by cyphering with friends in the hallways of his high school and then performing at the annual talent show. At Princeton, his passion for dance grew as a certificate student in the Lewis Center’s Program in Dance and as director of the student dance group, diSiac Dance Company.
Liam currently lives in New York City, where he has worked with artists including Doja Cat, Jimin (from BTS), Tomorrow X Together, and BeFirst, while also performing off-Broadway with IMGE Dance Company, BOLD Dance Company, and Stamptown. In 2024, he was a member of the inaugural Mets “Queens Crew” dance team, where he regularly performed in front of crowds of over 40,000 and on national television. He can also be seen in Doja Cat’s 2025 MTV Video Music Awards performance. Liam is active in the New York battle scene, dancing hip hop, popping, and house.
Liam cares deeply about passing on his knowledge and passion for the foundation, history, and culture of street dance to the next generation of Princeton dancers. He is also excited to bring street dance pioneers in to share their expertise and personal connection to the forms that they practice.
