     Jak-Hamah Jak-Hamah's last class will be Tuesday, August 7th. He will be away teaching in Europe for the rest of the year! Bio
    Chanan, aka Jak-Hamah (jack hammer) has been dancing all his life, always finding a fascination with the hip hop culture having being raised in it. When he reached college, he began to learn 'Step' as well, and later on became the head captain and president of the step team at his college. Towards the end of his college career, he was co-founder of a dance crew called Hott Sawse, and discovered that dance is what he wanted to do professionally. With a lot of intense training, Jak has choreographed for a few artists and even made it to other countries such as Finland and Sweden to teach dance. Even though he still considers himself a student of dance, he began teaching to give back to the hip hop culture what it gave to him.

    Class Description
    This class will explore the the fundamentals of House Dance. Going over everything from the core movements and techniques to covering the groove and the feel of the music and it's relation to the body. The class will work the body, mind, and soul through the music, warm ups, and choreography.
