Events

Co-curricular classes for the remainder of the Spring 2020 semester have moved online and are still free and open to all University students, faculty, and staff.

As part of the Program in Dance’s spring 2020 co-curricular dance offerings, Juwaan Walker leads a hip-hop class. This class series develops a diverse understanding of hip-hop’s foundational forms. With an emphasis on physical techniques, the course exposes dancers to the many dance forms that exist under the umbrella of hip-hop. Through the course, students will understand the basics of hip-hop’s form and will also be challenged to synthesize elements of groove, musicality, texture, footwork, and personal expression in their own individual improvisation.

To take advantage of our unique course offerings and virtually train with professionals outside of course work, visit the Co-Curricular Offerings page for the Zoom ID for this class. Participants will need to log in to this page with Princeton University ID to gain access.

 

ABOUT

walker smiling in purple shirt Born and raised in New Jersey, JUWAAN WALKER is a raw mover with a freestyle background. He started off as a Jersey club freestyle dancer who then began entering “all style” battle events with movement training from his god-brother, Rob Bynes. As he studied more under Bynes, Walker soon developed a love for Hip Hop and took it upon himself to explore his own movement and apply it to his training. After years of exploration, Walker began utilizing his knowledge and transitioning towards choreographing while remaining a student to dance. In the summer of 2017, Walker signed to Clear Talent Group NY and has been full throttle with dance ever since; training, teaching, and performing have been primary roots for his growth. Walker’s style is groovy hip-hop, hip-hop with soul is his intent so all of his classes provide moves and grooves with purpose.

“..if you learn how to groove, you will learn how to move”
