J9Dance
Introduction: I offer authentic Hip-Hop Lessons, private or in groups. I also offer choreography services. I teach at Broadway Dance Center, both open classes and for their children's program, and also at Liberated Movement in Manhattan.
I started dancing Hip-Hop later than most and I feel that makes it easier for me to relate to students of all levels. I enjoy watching students grow whilst having an amazing time. I also love putting choreography together for any occasion, because that gives me artistic freedom of expression.

I have been training with J9 since November 2015-- and her class is one of the highlights of my week. She has an in-depth technical, somatic, and virtuosic knowledge of Hip-Hop that allows her to relay information and the breakdowns of movement in an incredible way. I appreciate that every class we drill grooves and exercises that help the students gradually become more proficient and unafraid of doing dances that might seem daunting. She teaches at an Adv-Beg./Slow-Inter. level, and challenges the students with choreography that forces them to push themselves physically and intellectually. At the same time, J9 reinforces the need to relax and trust their movements. She always makes sure to end the class in a freestyle, makes students aware that at the core of it all Hip-Hop is a free styling call and response social dance. That it was created to be a conversation not done in front of the mirror-- but in the club, the party, the park, and anywhere people gather and chill. I just wish I could take more of her classes!!!!
