Why take part in this workshop according to programmer Anne-Lore?

It’s always interesting to look over the fence at how teachers of other dance styles approach things. When I want to break out of my routine and habits, I do something completely different; a dance style I’m not familiar with at all. For people who teach Hip Hop, this workshop is an ideal opportunity to discover and share tips.
