Stackin' Stylez Vol. II
What is Stackin' Stylez?
Stackin' Stylez orginated as a dance curriculum to provide a frame work for dancers of all backgrounds to expand their vocabulary in freestyle dance. The curriculum picks apart applications of freestyle dance to explore and highlight them separately before putting them back together in different ways to create a vast amount of variations.
The Battle
Inspired by Book of Styles (DC), Jack of All Trades (MTL), and The Blvckout events (TO), concepts & music genres will be selected at random and applied to each round. participants will have to mold what ever style it is that they do the framework/structure of the concept(s). Who ever excels in the execution of the given concept(s) will move forward each round.
