This co-curricular dance class series develops a diverse understanding of hip-hop’s foundational forms. With an emphasis on physical techniques, the class exposes dancers to the many dance forms that exist under the umbrella of hip-hop. Through the sessions, 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. All experience levels welcome.

About the Guest Artist

Liam Lynch grew up in New Jersey, where he learned to dance by cyphering with friends in the hallways of his high school. At Princeton, his passion for dance grew as a member of the Dance Department and as a member, and then director, of diSiac Dance Company.

Along his dance journey, Liam has trained with choreographers including Rob Bynes, Chris Martin and Candace Brown, and he has practiced house, hip hop, popping and contemporary under artists like Sekou Heru, Raphael Xavier, Sun Kim and Cameron McKinney. He currently lives in New York, where he performs with the group BOLD Dance Company, regularly attends battles and sessions and continues to choreograph and teach.

Liam cares deeply about passing on his knowledge to the next generation of Princeton dancers and is excited to watch the Princeton dance community continue to grow and flourish.
