by a popular new style of dance, “Krumping”. This was popularized in America and is characterized by free, expressive, exaggerated,
and highly energetic moves involving the arms, head, legs, chest, and feet (seen in movies like: Stomp the Yard, Step Up 2,
and the documentary Rize). Jessica will be incorporating some basic krumping moves with hip-hop choreography to create a fun,
energetic routine. So be sure to bring some attitude and a good pair of sneakers for stomping! :) Yoga Instructor:
