Event Recap:
On behalf of all of us at Rae Studios and More Than Movement, we want to say thank you for attending our second More Than Movement workshop with JC Caoile. We were thrilled to see the Rae community come together for this fun, educational, and energetic Hip-Hop workshop. Thank you to JC for spreading your passion for Hip-Hop dance and culture.
JC brought the moves (and the jokes!). Our students were all smiles as JC broke down the basics of Hip-Hop Party Dances and other street dance forms such as:
Fly Girls
Reject
Party Machine
JC also discussed how the dance community can honor Hip-Hop history as the dance evolves by educating ourselves and others.

About More Than Movement:
At Rae Studios, we believe to be a dancer is to be an artist of movement. To be a teacher is to be an uplifter. Not just in our bodies and in our spirits, but in our communities as well. Becoming a leader on and off the floor begins with educating ourselves. Our professional development program provides various opportunities for Rae Studios instructors and staff to grow their artistry, leadership, social advocacy, teaching skills, and knowledge of dance history and culture.
Rae Studios is committed to evolving these holistic qualities through curated resources, workshops, guest speakers, and special events both exclusively for instructors and staff, and for our wider community. Commitments and focuses will include topics such as Hip-Hop education: being responsible and respectful guests in Hip-Hop culture, how to honor and educate our students of the history of cultural dances from around the world, tools and strategies for creating a safe movement space, taking care of our bodies as teachers and trainers, and many more.
Our Commitment to Education of Hip-Hop
Hip-Hop is a culture. Rae Studios recognizes our responsibility as artists and guests in Hip-Hop to educate ourselves, each other, and our students, to actively participate in anti-racist work, and to uplift the Black community. So much of dance is also indebted to the Black community. The Black community has been and still is the most harmed in our country, and this is one of the many actions we can commit ourselves to in the ongoing fight for social justice. We recognize the responsibility that we have to honor the communities that have innovated Hip-Hop long before us where it all started. Hip-Hop was created by the Black community, specifically African Americans and Afro-Caribbeans, and the Latinx community specifically Puerto Ricans in the South Bronx, New York. Read more about our commitment here.
