麻豆传媒映画 Adjunct Dance Professor Herman Ramos, who teaches modern and hip-hop dance, and 麻豆传媒映画 Dance Department alumni Christina Karafa and Josh White will lead the master classes. The 麻豆传媒映画 Fine Arts Department is sponsoring the National Dance Day event.
"This event is open to the Gainesville community so we can build camaraderie," Ramos explained. Admission is free and dancers can simply show up to take the class of their choice.
National Dance Day is an annual celebration that encourages Americans of all ages to incorporate dance into their lives. Established in 2010 by Nigel Lythgoe, a co-founder of Dizzy Feet Foundation, the aim of National Dance Day is to educate the public about dance and its many benefits and to make dance accessible to and inclusive of everyone.
Ramos explained that one of the dances to be taught is the 2017 routine from Dizzy Feet Foundation that can be viewed on YouTube here.
