Rebellious Movement

👟 HIP HOP FUNDAMENTALS 👟

Historically, the culture of Hip Hop was looked down upon for its nature. But those underground parties where Hip Hop was born gave a place for people of colour to come together. A community was built in Hip Hop culture and it continues to grow today in its music, dance, and aesthetic.

Some may find it scary to dive into the art form. The level of confidence that is needed to be seen in its dancing can overwhelm the new dancer. But in many cases, it doesn’t happen overnight!

This class is meant to explore Hip Hop culture and build confidence in your performance! It’s meant to find your ground, but also understand when to find lightness in your groove! It’s also meant to bring people together and stand together to keep the culture alive!

Come dance with us and ignite your FIRE. 🔥

See you at the studio! ✨

🎶 LET’S TALK ABOUT MUSICALITY 🎶

If you know me, you know that I grew up in a home that was full of music. My dad is a musician and would produce music in his home studio. Because of this, I would constantly hear the isolated tracks of different instruments and voices. When the full product was finished, it was much easier to hear all those isolated tracks and I was fascinated in what it sounded like altogether.

This is some improv that I did after class today. Can you tell when I’m dancing to the percussion? Can you tell when I’m dancing to the bass line? Can you tell when I’m dancing to the vocals? Can you tell when I mix it up? If you’re someone who struggles with improv, I highly recommend listening to a song and “finding an isolated track” as your guideline for your movement. Then try moving to that guideline. You never know what you can create until you try it and let the music take you on the journey!

🥂 POUR IT UP 🥂

Here at Rebellious Movement, we believe that dance works in a circle. What does that mean? Well, let me dive in this deeper.

Every style of dance you learn will benefit your ability to move. Learning some jazz fundamentals will help in precision and clean lines. Ballet can help in finding moments to be graceful and controlled. Hip Hop can help you release tension. Tap can help with musicality and rhythm. The list goes on. Knowing multiple styles will unlock versatility in your movement. Learning new styles, though scary and uncomfortable, can help you to think outside of the box in your dancing. You might not get it the first time and that can be frustrating. But there is beauty in the process if you trust it.

Thank you for listening to my TED talk. 😂 That being said, this particular piece dives into some influence from the jazz funk and hip hop world!

Class video is coming soon! 💕

🎥: by the amazing @la_glorificus who always makes sure I get a video at the end of class 🥹

👟 25 years of taking class and 12 years of teaching dance — these are common phrases that I’ve heard from people over the years:

🎧 “There’s not as much structure, so I can’t grow from it.”
Though you wouldn’t necessarily do barre work in a Hip Hop class, Hip Hop is so much more than choreographed moves and technique. A sense of individuality is found in the freedom of rocking and grooving with your friends. A sense of community is present in the dance form. Finding this individuality that is so embedded in the culture can enhance your movement and feeling in your dancing in general. Hip Hop has grown where you can explore technique further in a different lens.

🎧 “There’s no way my body can move like that.”
There’s so much danger in a fixed mindset like this. How can you expect to grow in your movement if you’re already closed off to a style that you’re unfamiliar with? You won’t know until you get past this mindset and immerse yourself in the culture.

🎧 “The music is so repetitive.”
What better way to understand rhythm than to hear a DJ spinning tracks!? The DJ is one of the elements of Hip Hop which allowed people to listen to the tracks and freestyle effectively. All those “WOW” moments you see in freestyling? It’s because the breakdancer (also an element of Hip Hop) is listening for the “break” and throwing them in at the right moments!

🎧 “It’s all just aggressive movements and music.”
The history on how Hip Hop music was made was because of the experiences of oppressed communities in the 70s. Systemic racism and oppression is still present today. I invite you to actually listen to the lyrics of these songs and understand that it’s not “just aggressive music”, it’s a reality and we need to realize that we need to fight for social justice and equality. (Yes, even in this present day.)

As someone who is a person of colour, I am so passionate about Hip Hop culture and keeping its roots alive. I understand that I am a guest in the House of Hip Hop and I am grateful that I got/get the chance to learn this style. If you want to learn more about the style, I encourage you to read more on Hip Hop history and see just how layered this culture is!

I actively catch myself sounding weird LOL. Sometimes you just gotta laugh at yourself because in the end, I like to use my voice to show you how the quality of movement sounds in my head. I can only hope that it helps you in the end. 😂

On a side note, I am so grateful to be living this life doing what I love. I love teaching and meeting new people! Thank you to all who came out to class tonight! 🫶🏽

Come to class tonight as we hit Dove Cameron’s newest song, “Romeo”! We’ll be hitting all those clean lines today in class so I hope y’all are ready to feel strong and, of course, sassy AF. 😏

PRIDE EDITION!!!

📣 DANCE WOULD NOT BE WHERE IT IS TODAY WITHOUT THE OPENNESS AND EXPLORATION WITHIN THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY 📣

The LGBTQIA+ community has helped paved the way for various dance styles exploring new concepts, visuals, techniques, and the importance of inclusivity and acceptance.

Monday Sass classes are back in full swing and this one is definitely sneaker forward, but heels are also an option if you want a challenge!

Anybody who knows me knows that I am so heavily engaged in my Filipino-Canadian identity. When I heard of the tragedy of the events that occurred in the Lapu-Lapu Day festivities in Vancouver, my heart broke.

I am holding a donation class on Friday, May 9th after my Sexy Socks/Heels hybrid class. This is the song we’ll be dancing to. Come dance and heal with me. Donate what you can. All proceeds will go towards those affected by this tragedy.

Please DM me if you plan on coming or for any other questions. You may donate with cash or e-transfer. 💙❤️💛
