UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

Performance Project with MJ Choi | Founder / Director OF I LOVE DANCE

Work with Director / Founder of I LOVE DANCE, MJ Choi, in this 4-day K-Pop Performance & Videography Workshop.

During this intensive performance / videography focused workshop, you will experience the process of how a K-Pop dance performance is put together. Starting with learning dance choreography, you will also learn how to execute a solo part and dance perfectly in sync with your team members as that is the K-Pop artists' main focus. This will include precise unison moves with complicated formation changes. Along with these dance techniques, you will also learn the importance of facial expression (on camera), costumes, make-up, hair, and accessories because these are very important elements of K-Pop as a performing art form.
