The Craft | Michael Jackson Inspired Dance Workshop
About this Event
Have you ever wanted to learn to dance like Michael and master the iconic moves that made his music videos and legendary live performances unforgettable? Now's your chance!
Join Krista MJ for two or one unique workshop experiences, whether you're taking your very first dance class or looking to challenge yourself with one of the most iconic choreographies ever performed.
Workshop 1: The Craft | Moves & Technique
6:15 PM – 7:15 PM
Perfect for beginners and suitable for ages from 14 and up.
In this class, you'll learn the foundations of Michael's movement style, including his signature techniques, famous moves, body language, musicality, stage presence, and mannerisms. We'll also explore short sections of few iconic choreographies while breaking down the technique in a fun and easy-to-follow way.
Whether you've never danced before or simply want to improve your skills, this class will give you the tools to understand what made his movement style so unique.
Workshop 2: Dangerous Choreography
7:30 PM – 8:45 PM
Ready for a challenge?
In this advanced workshop, you'll learn the most iconic sections of the legendary Dangerous choreography, taught the way Krista has learned and performed it throughout the years as a tribute artist. Out of respect for the original creators and choreographers, this is a tribute-performance adaptation rather than an exact recreation of the original routine as a complete piece.
This class is recommended for dancers with some previous dance experience due to the difficulty of the choreography. However, if you're a beginner who loves a challenge, you're absolutely welcome to join!
The result of the choreography will be at the end recorded and will be shared for Krista's socials for those who want to be part of it!
What to Bring For Both Classes
- Flat-soled shoes, such as loafers, are highly recommended. Avoid shoes that could leave marks on the dancefloor.
- A water bottle
- Feel free to bring a fedora if you'd like to add to the experience.
- Most importantly, come ready to dance, learn, and sweat!
- It wouldn´'t be recommended to come to the class in full out Michael costume, since this is a rehearsal space. Inspired outfits are okay but it would recommend something you're comfortable in for intense classes.
