En workshop i samarbete mellan Dansalliansen och Danscentrum Stockholm. Förkunskaper inom House eller angränsande uttryck prioriteras

House dance is a freestyle street dance and social dance that has roots in the underground house music scene of Chicago and New York. House dance is often improvised and emphasizes fast and complex foot-oriented steps combined with fluid movements in the torso, as well as floor work. There is an emphasis on the subtle rhythms and riffs of the music, and the footwork follows them closely.
