Dance Jazz/Hip Hop with Rachel Watson-Jih

Join Rachel Watson-Jih, Ailey Arts In Education Teaching Artist, for a series of fun video workshops that will help build fundamental dance vocabulary in jazz/hip-hop style.

Students are encouraged to practice imagination, resilience and joy while learning dance vocabulary and dynamic original choreography from the safety of their home or socially-distanced classroom. Ailey Arts In Education remains committed to providing quality dance education content and empowering students to take, make and see dance - through whatever means possible.

“Making dances is an act of progress; it is an act of growth, an act of music, an act of teaching, an act of celebration, an act of joy.”
