The Freestyle Dance Lab is open to advanced dancers looking to push boundaries and experiment with new approaches to movement. Dive deeper into the elements of street dance that have influenced Azzam Mohamed’s own practice – with a focus on the bounce and the rock. 

Work on rhythms, isolation, footwork and more to enhance your understanding of the connection between dance and music. Hone your personal style and get more comfortable with freestyling. Expect a diverse musical journey, from hip-hop and house to Afro, disco, salsa, jazz and ambient.
