Hips shake, feet hop with Dance Oregon ■The campus dance club sponsors its second hip hop workshop of the term Wednesday evening By Tara Hadley for the Emerald “Let things loosen up ... untuck your shirt, it’s OK!” booms the in structor across the gym. It was an hour and a half full of booty shakin’ fun while students’ hips swayed, feet stomped and the mu sic played. The first 50 people through the doors of Gerlinger Annex learned some new moves Wednesday as they followed the lead of Lane Community College dance instruc tor Cheryl Lemmer. Dance Oregon, a campus dance club, sponsors hip hop dance workshops about once a term. Al though, it has already had two this term, with a turnout of 90 people for the first. Dance Oregon pro vides the workshops at a cost of $8 per student. Students of all majors and experience levels attended the event, eager to see what Lemmer had in store for them. Though technique is important in all forms of dance, hip hop tech nique is one anyone can make their own. Lemmer emphasizes keeping an open mind while danc ing because of the diversified back ground that hip hop comes from: clubs, jazz, street and each teacher, who brings in his or her own style. She says she is drawn to the work shops because “they reach differ ent people from all over town. Peo ple get excited who normally wouldn’t.” Megan McGregor, a senior exer cise and movement science major, thought the workshop was ex hausting but fun. • nf “Cheryl,kicked our butts,” she said. Dancing is often considered a therapy session between one’s body and the music being played. The rhythmic motion of dancing is relaxing and can help relieve anger and stress. This exercise can im prove muscle tone, balance and posture in addition to coordina tion, confidence and mental out look. Eugene also has several dance studios and lessons available for all skill levels. TaDa Productions Dance Studio offers beginning and advanced hip hop classes that meet once a week for an hour. The cost is $36 a month, although the first class is offered free. Musical Feet has an all-level hip hop class tentatively scheduled for this summer as well as jazz classes offered every term. Freshman journalism major Megan Amedo expressed her sen timents of the workshop Wednes day: “The music was loud, she was loud, and it was a good time. You didn’t have to know what you were doing.” CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED CLASSICAL MUSIC, OPERA, BROADWAY & FILM SCORES ON COMPACT DISC CD’S from $6.95 Behind Bradfords 942 Olive Street • Free Parking Closed Tuesdays 343-9000 SS O'*' y/e*/y/e*/ yw- y/e*/ Don't miss out.
