PRESENTS

FUNK SCOOL DANCE PROGRAM 2011

Time: Saturday, March 12 at 11:00am – June 12 at 1:00
Location: Multicultural Hub,  506 Elizabeth Street,  City

---

Learn popping, locking and hip hop dancing! Link Arts & Culture runs a program of free weekly street dance classes on Saturday mornings throughout semester.

Classes are free for Friends of Link Arts & Culture and take place every Saturday from 11am to 1pm at the Multicultural Hub**, 506 Elizabeth Street, City.

RMIT students are free to attend all classes for the whole year!! Non-RMIT students are required to pay $40 for the whole year’s dance class. Please head to Link Arts & Culture Office to pay in person. Address is Building 8, Level 2, 360 Swanston Street Melbourne.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

Semester 1
Get an intro to all styles of street dance; including, Hip Hop, House, B-boying, Poppin, Lockin and Dancehall.

Semester 2
Dance classes are structured around learning a routine, so it is advisable to get on board early on, as it will get harder to catch up. Students have the option to participate in an end of year dance performance!

Dates
Classes start on Saturday March 12 and continue every Saturday through Semester, with a break on 23 April for Easter/Mid Semester break.

In 2011 the streets have found the funk for an even bigger year of dance, performance and scooling in Hip Hop culture for aspiring dancers of all levels, by Melbourne’s finest dance teachers. All RMIT students are invited to take part and be involved in RMIT’s growing street dance community.
In 2010 RMIT Link Arts & Culture’s Street Scool dance program began with overwhelming success, with more than seventy participants taking part in classes. Highlights of the year included a Flash Mob as part of the RMIT Open Day, the creation of Funkadelic, RMIT’s first Hip Hop dance collective, and an end of year dance showcase at the Kaleide Theatre, RMIT.

GOALS OF FUNK SCOOL

To provide further opportunity for students to get involved in RMIT’s growing dance community

To provide physical and creative activities to assist in the well being of RMIT students

To create a social platform for RMIT students through their interest in dance

To develop dance events and competitions that involve RMIT students collaborating with students from other universities

COORDINATION

The Funk Scool program is coordinated by Cat Sweeney, Melbourne based dancer and community and cultural development worker. Cat has been teaching, performing and coordinating Hip Hop based projects and events for over six years and manages her own organisation, ‘Jungle City Massive’ based in Melbourne’s western suburbs. Major project and events that Cat has been involved with include the annual Freestyle @ Fed Square, and She Got Game International B-girl Competition, and the Melbourne International Arts Festival. With a huge love for Hip Hop culture and street dance Cat is passionate about sharing her skills and knowledge to those who share her passion for maintaining a thriving music and dance community in Melbourne.

Term E-Newsletter

Funk Scool participants will receive a newsletter at the beginning of each term featuring information about classes, teachers and a brief history of the style of dance they will be learning.
The E-newsletter will also feature a gig guide, and information about other dance events, and classes happening around town so that students can get involved in the broader Melbourne dance community.

EVENTS AND COMPETITIONS

The 2011 program will see new opportunities for events, competitions and collaborations with other universities in Melbourne. Students and members of the RMIT Hip Hop dance collective, Funkedalic, will have the opportunity to perform and compete as a dance crew, at existing events as well as the end of year Funk Scool celebration.
