Movement Revolution Dance Crew

Movement Revolution Youth Crew (ages 8 - 13) is a hip hop crew directed by Monte Rezell and Dana Christy, focused on training in styles of street dance and Hip Hop culture. Dancers take class/rehearse Tuesdays to train in a variety of hip hop techniques and movement styles including breakdance, popping, locking, grooves, and freestyle. In addition, dancers are pushed to enhance skills that are essential to being a great dancer such as retention, timing, execution, dynamics, staging, and performance qualities. Dancers are able to implement their training through unique performance opportunities. Movement Revolution Youth Crew will perform/compete 4 - 6 times a year throughout the Chicagoland area. We offer an afterschool program on Tuesdays at the Athenaeum Theater, and will be adding additional programming at Mayfair Arts Center in the fall. We welcome any student to come try a free class!

Learn fresh moves and new skills using Hip Hop dance techniques, all while having fun and getting a great workout! For four years running our students have called this the "Best Camp Ever!" Each day starts with yoga and meditation to help dancers get grounded and focused. We then spend the morning honing our street dance technique, emphasizing the basics of breaking, waving, tutting, and other styles. After lunch we work on learning choreography that we present to friends and family at our Friday showcase. As always, sharing the traditions of Hip Hop Culture is at the core of our curriculum, so each day includes lessons on Hip Hop history as well as arts and crafts, where we design original graffiti pieces.
 

Camp offers students an opportunity to learn about all the elements of Hip Hop, including creating their own original graffiti mural.  Info for Summer 2024 coming soon
