What is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?
One of the most popular music genres of the past several decades, “house” is a genre of electronic dance music that emerged in Chicago in the late 70s/early 80s following the disco era. The term “house” was derived from The Warehouse, a Chicago club where the music was often played. Though the essence of house dance is purely freestyle, popular steps performed in NYC dance clubs were eventually recognized as “house dance foundation.” Members of NYC’s Dance Fusion were the first to teach house dance vocabulary as early as the late 1980s; the dance style is now universally recognized worldwide. |
What background, training, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?
A master Taekwondo-ist and professional dancer, Sean was introduced to house dance by Ricardo Foster Jr in 2007. In 2013, Boston house leaders Sammy Savuth and Steven Garcia invited Sean to join Boston’s underground house music culture. From 2017 onward, Sean has trained under mentor Edson Gonzaga, who further unlocked Sean’s understanding of house music and his own personal dance style. Combining proven analytical teaching methods with his martial arts and house culture experience has allowed Sean to teach dancers from around the world to better understand & appreciate the lineage of house dance and music. |
Finish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…
…House helps me be my best self. |
