The Breakdancing/Popping Workshop, taught by Stephen Burtt, is designed to help students master urban street dancing to a distinct beat, while also offering an excellent aerobic workout. Students will learn slides, waves, footwork, windmills, freezes and much more in this one-day class."We’re seeing a surge of new interest in the dances of the eighties,"said Julie Wolleck, Community Education manager.
