#HOM Community Class w/Cloudz Irusta Tonight!

, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Check out Cloudz Irusta HOM 321 and well see you at Community Class tonight at 830PM! 500 8th Ave 4th Floor Room 401!

(1) What were the 3 most pivotal moments in your dance career (explain)?
1. When I started dancing at the Boys & Girls Club.

Every morning I wasted 2-5 solid minutes debating whether I wanted to stay in the art room or make my way to the dance studio; and every morning I made the same decision- the dance studio. It holds such a special place in my heart bc thats where it all started. Thats where I found the realest love.

2. When I went inactive for a season.

The worst and heaviest withdrawal I had all year. It was worse than a break up. I wasn't able to take class as much either. Thats when I knew dancing is something I could never give up. I love it too much. All i know is, I'll be 80 and I'll still be grooving.

3. Teaching for HOM.

It's my first time teaching alone for the dance community. I'm super nervous but also very excited to share what I love with everyone. Thank you HOM!

(2) How would you describe your style of choreography in 2 words (explain)? Groovy? Smooth? I don't really know haha

(3) What is 1 piece of advice you would like to give to students who will be taking you class? Have fun and make it your own. Some parts won't make sense when I teach but I promise it'll make sense with the music!

BONUS: Tell us any fun fact you’d like us to know about yourself! (optional) I hate cheese but I LOVE pizza

#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*

#HOM Community Class w/Ryan Zeng This Friday 10/24

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hey everyone! Check out Ryan's HOM321 and make sure to check out his Community Class tomorrow night at 830PM (Pearl Studios 500 8th Ave 4th Floor Room 401)

1. What were the 3 most pivotal moments in your dance career (explain)?

The 3 most pivotal moments of my dance career would have to be ... Training under the direction of Jake Pesquira, Auditioning for Project D Dance Company, Flying to LA for summer training....
After being in Unique Movement for about two years , I felt that it was time to go off on my own to train and find myself as a dancer and as an individual. During this time, I was in contact with Jake Pesquira from Rhythm City. He recommended his intensive program for the body and the mind called "D.A.N.C.E for your LIFE ". Under the direction of Jake, I was able to develop self-confidence, self-awareness , and understanding the positive effects of dancing. To sum up the training, it was a life changing experience and I continue to use what I've learned to shape the dancer I strive to be.
Auditioning for Project D Dance Company was one of the best decisions of my life. I remember messing up during my first try but was called back to perform the choreography again. The nervous feeling and the thought of messing up again was on my mind but my brother Hendrick Ramos ( another good of mine who was auditioning ) said " You got this bro... Show them why you deserve that spot ". The moment continues to remind me to always work hard for what I want in life.
After a season on Project D Dance Company, I decided to travel with a group of friends to LA for summer training. Seeing the community over there was an eye opener. Watching dancers push to their limits in class and observing the quality of movement was inspiring. Last but not least.. getting the chance to take class from one of my biggest inspirations and the guy who started it all for me... MIKE SONG! If you guys ever get the chance to, take his class. I guarantee that it's always going to be a great class!

2. How would you describe your style of choreography in 2 words (explain)?

Visually inspiring; Whenever I listen to a song, I tend to think about a moment in my past or I think about a life experience. I play out that moment in time when I freestyle and hopefully help others understand as I turn the freestyle into choreography.

3. What is 1 piece of advice you would like to give to students who will be taking you class?

Have fun

BONUS: Tell us any fun fact you’d like us to know about yourself!
I'm a huge fan of POKEMON!

#HOM Community Class w/Regina Lustre of Project D Tomorrow 9/19!

, , , , , , , , , , ,

Tomorrow! We will be having Regina Lustre of Project D Dance Company teaching for Community Class at House of Movement!

Pearl Studios 500 8th Ave 4th Floor Room 401 - $13 per class
Friday Night Line Up
7PM ADV Beginner Class w/ Kristian Nacional
830PM Community Class w/ Regina Lustre

Check out Regina's HOM321
What are the 3 most pivotal moments of your dance career and why?

1.) Joining Project D in 2008. I never would have started dancing or have grown a passion for dance if it weren't for these unique and silly people whom I love.

2.) Being recognized and being chosen as select by Chris Martin in the So You Think You Can Sayaw workshops in 2013. Chris Martin has always been one of the greatest dancers in my eyes, and being chosen as select for his piece to 'Let's Just Be' honestly gave me the determination to get better. I never felt so honored.

3.) (as lame as this sounds) Dating Eric Delgado lool. He is someone who pushes me as a dancer because he knows I could always do better. We take classes together and all we do is critique each other and help each other grow. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for his guidance and support. Dancer boyfriends are OP.

-----

How would you describe your style of choreography in 2 words. Explain.

I'd say my style of choreography is fun and textures. Dancing is fun!!!! I try to make my pieces as enjoyable as possible, for me as well as those who watch or learn. I love grooves, spins, and jumping around. Im a kid, what can I say? Haha. OH and I'm a big big big fan of textures. Ugh. I'd marry textures if I could. I try to incorporate different feelings into each move whether it be hard hitting, smooth, dime stopping, whatever. I love textures.

-----

What is 1 piece of advice you'd like to give to students at House of Movement.

One piece of advice I'd say is to never take a class or a day in the dance world for granted. You never know WHEN you'll get inspired, WHO will motivate you, WHERE you'll have pivotal points, and WHAT will cause your epiphany. There are also many times when you might have to stop dancing completely because of reasons, and then you'll look back and be like, 'golly, I should have learned more from so-and-so' or 'dang flabbit, I should have killed this choreo'. Never take anything for granted. Treat every day like you'd never regret it.

Here are some video's of Regina's choreography! Check em!

#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!

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!
