Events

As part of the Program in Dance’s spring 2022 co-curricular dance offerings, guest artist Alain “Hurrikane” Lauture leads a class on Locking.

Curated by Princeton alum Lauren Auyeung ’19, 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.

Classes are free and open to Princeton students, faculty and staff. No RSVP or registration required; just drop-in. Princeton alumni who wish to participate should email Cindy Rosenfeld at cr17@princeton.edu.
