#HOM Community Class w/Bo Belza This Week!
Good Morning everyone!
We are back with Community Classes in 2015! Community Class is every single Friday Night at House of Movement where we feature a guest instructor! This Friday 1/9 we are pleased to have back at the studio, Bo Belza of Ufp Dance!
Bo has been in the NJ dance community since 2006 when he first danced on FR3SH. He continued to dance with the company, while directing their junior team - Fr3sh Jrs, for 3 years. During this time, Bo also danced on teams such ...as RDT, Balls to the Wall, and has made numerous appearances on Ven15 and to do projects with Jake Pesquira as well as Dennis Caindec. With his passion for teaching and directing, he led small projects with some of his friends for UFP's carnivals - Ladies w/ Guns, and If you want you are can. In the many years of dancing, teaching and directing, Bo has been privileged enough to teach in numerous places around the United States, including California, Las Vegas, New York, Boston, Rhode Island, as well as in New Jersey. This past year, Bo had the opportunity to teach a weekly open hip hop class for Rise Dance, in New York City. Now in his 5th year teaching for Arts in Motion Dance Academy, and 5th year directing UFP/ UFPx, Bo hopes to continue to grow in his craft and to inspire the rest of the community. He couldn't be happier with the way things are with both UFP and UFPx and is excited for the rest of this season.

#HOM Community Class Tonight w/Adrian Causing
Tonight we have Adrian Adrian Causing teaching for Community Class! 830pm @ Pearl Studios NYC 500 8th Ave 4th Floor Room 401 - $13
Check out his HOM321!
What were the 3 most pivotal moments in your dance career (explain)? — 1. Starting FR3SH / 2. Performing at the first Sockhop in San Francisco / 3. Being on ABDC
How would you describe your style of choreography in 2 words (explain)? —— I don’t claim myself as a “Hip Hop” choreographer. I just like what I like and do what I do. I’d like to think I’m eclectic, but if you want to put me a box, I’d say “Jazz Funk.” LOL.
What is 1 piece of advice you would like to give to students who will be taking you class? — Pay attention and learn with your eyes and body, not with your mouth.
BONUS: Tell us any fun fact you’d like us to know about yourself! (optional) — There may or may not be plans for a “FR3SH” reunion of some sort. We’ll see… *Evil Grin*
Check out some of Adrian's work

#HOM Community Class w/Justin Marin Tonight 9/26!
TOMORROW! Friday 9/26 we will be having our next Community Class, this time featuring Justin Marin! Check out his HOM321 below and see you in class tomorrow night!
- What are the 3 most pivotal moments of your dance career and why?
My three most pivotal moments in my dance career would be:
1. Performing at NYU’s annual Ultra Violet Live talent competition with the collegiate dance team my friend and I started—Synchronic Dance Team
2. Entering my first All-Style Battle jam on a whim and making it to the finals despite recovering from a knee injury just the week before
3. Booking my first official music video gig
Each of these moments is a testament and reminder to myself that one can achieve through confidence, a strong work ethic, and tenacity in the face of adversity.
- How would you describe your style of choreography in 2 words. Explain. “Volatile” and “visceral.” When I make a piece, especially if I’m going to teach it, I never try to do the same thing twice. I like to constantly experiment with new elements, textures, and styles to keep things fresh and challenge myself as a choreographer. Also, I’m meticulous to the way movement feels. I don’t just want my choreography to be aesthetically pleasing; I want my dancers to channel something organic and genuine within themselves to feel the movement come alive.
- What is 1 piece of advice you'd like to give to students at House of Movement. A wise platypus once said: “Dance the dance you dance, don’t dance the dance people who dance dance.”

#HOM Community Class w/Paolo Aragona This Friday 6/20
Good morning everyone! Meet Paolo Aragona! Paolo will be teaching THIS FRIDAY'S 6/20 Community Class at House of Movement!
Friday Line Up @ House of Movement
Pearl Studios 500 8th Ave 4th Floor Room 401 - $13 per class
7PM Beginner HipHop w/ Kristian Nacional
830PM Community Class w/ Paolo Aragona
What do you get when you mix grainy VHS-recorded music videos, a Michael Jackson’s greatest hits cassette tape, hours of watching dance videos on a 56k dial-up connection, and a combination of curiosity and no shame? The origin story of Paolo’s sultry love affair with dance.
From emulating MJ as a child in his hometown of Baguio City, Philippines, to the start of his freestyle foundation in popping, locking, and bboying in high school in the Philly suburbs, to today— Paolo’s movement vocabulary is always evolving. While attending college in Philly, Paolo frequented freestyle jams, trained at Koresh Dance and the Funky Sole Fundamentals, and experimented with jazz, modern, ballroom, and latin at the University of the Arts and University of Pennsylvania. Shortly after graduating, Paolo moved to NYC and has since trained at Broadway Dance Center, Monsters of HipHop, and industry and community workshops in the tri-state area.
A proud member and alum of the east coast dance community— Paolo is no stranger to the stage. He is a former director and alum of iNERT!A Dance Team at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, an alum of UPenn’s Strictly Funk Dance Company, an alum of E.P.I.C. Motion Dance Company, and currently a dancer for Funkanometry NY. Some notable performance highlights include, The Filipino Channel’s One Kapamilya Go 2014 Concert at the Prudential Center, the choreography round of the So You Think You Can Dance Season 7 NYC Auditions, Funkanometry SF’s The Sock Hop 6 Showcase, Culture Shock DC’s International Choreographer’s Showcase, and World of Dance NY 2013.
Advertising copywriter by day, dancer by night (that sounds saucy…) — Paolo is absolutely thrilled to share his imagination and groove with his fellow movers!
