In our Jazz & Contemporary Trainee Program, faculty member Antonio Jefferson dctonyj brought focused intensity to hip hop class this week. The emphasis was on staging, refining how trainees moved through formations, controlled spacing, and making each transition feel intentional and clear.⁠ ⁠ Trainees were challenged to pick up quickly, be adaptable, and maintain strong presence and energy from start to finish. It was a study in awareness and performance quality, proving that hip hop demands both precision and power.⁠ ⁠ 📸 laylamshoo⁠ ⁠ #joffreyballetschool #jazzandcontemporarytraineeprogram #hiphopclass #nycdance #dancecommunity
