On September 27, 2003, I took a hip hop workshop at Y-Fit taught by Ray Salahuddin. I don't remember very much other than it was a very fun class. Here are the scant notes I took, including the four tenets of hip hop:
- Opposition, e.g., low & out to high & skinny; still to movement
- Synchronization, e.g., normally teach chorus first because it's easiest. You'll keep participants in the room if they feel successful. Add on 8 counts a time after that.
- Formation change, e.g., line vs. circle
- Attitude. 'Nuff said.
Other tidbits of information worth mentioning:
- Music can be purchased at GroovyDelight.com
- Music typically 110 bpm
- Teach hardest 8-count first - it will get the most reptition
- Chorus is symmetrical and easy - cardio focused
- Last section of chorus is for regrouping
