Monday 3 - Friday 7 February
A week exploring Krumping foundations, culture, history. From LA to Scotland. I have been slowly including this art form in my work but this week will allow me to deep dive into it, have other dancers interested in this style in the space, as well as virtually, to share, learn and exchange ideas.
Open Studio Mornings
Each morning from 10:30-12:00, Dorine will open the studio to professional dancers interested and involved in Krump. The mornings will be split between movement-based time and conversations about Krumping.
