Screen Shot 2016-04-15 at 11

One of our very own social committee member, James Lee will be teaching a beg/int hip-hop class at the end of this month.

So if you’re one of those people who always wanted to break it down at the club, but just didn’t, now is your chance to come learn some moves so you can bust some moves!

Join James on the last Saturday of this month (4/30) by 4pm @Dance Connection for a good time. There’s also an awesome cuban place right next to the studio so we can all go grab dinner there after the workshop.

Dance Connection is @ 3117 N Clybourn Ave, Chicago, IL 60618
Students = $5
Regular = $5 we don’t discriminate!
