In this hip-hop theater arts experience, Paige Hernandez presents excerpts from her original work based on her experience as a performer with African American and Latina roots. Her program motivates us to be creative and unique, using our heritage and family values as inspiration. Learn the basics of hip hop, salsa, and partner dance with adults and children together!
