K-Pop (Class Description):

K-pop, short for Korean popular music, is a form of popular music originating in South Korea as part of South Korean culture. ​​It includes styles and genres from around the world on top of its traditional Korean music roots. Originally known as 'Gayo' in Korea, modern K-Pop "idol" culture began in the 1990s. Our K-Pop instructors will either highlight other K-Pop choreographers by re-teaching combos from various music videos, or create their own choreographed influences from various styles of dance. Students should expect to learn fun combos and increase their performance quality.

Meet Your Instructor:

Sarah (they/them) first joined Rae Studios in 2024, though they have been living and working in San Francisco since 2017. Originally from Southern California, Sarah began coaching and choreographing in the competitive cheerleading scene where they first honed their skills as a performer and teacher. It was this love for dynamic formations, sharp, synchronized movement, and overall performance quality that first drew Sarah to K-Pop.

As an instructor, Sarah uses their experience in other styles like Hip-Hop, Locking, and Shuffle to enhance their teaching and educate their students about the origins of many K-Pop concepts and trends. In their class, you can expect to learn choreography by many the high-energy, dynamic choreographers of the K-Pop industry like Bada Lee, Rie Hata, Back Kooyoung, and BBTrippin.
