The Company Workshops

Recently, I attended a hip-hop dance class known as the ORG Workshop Featuring The Company. This dance workshop was hosted by The Organization, which is a junior dance team. The class featured three choreographers from the company, which include Aggie Loyola, Jonathan Shay, and the famous Pat Cruz. This event took place at Quest Dance Studios. 

This workshop was the first time I've ever learned choreography from The Company. The Company is a very well-known adult dance team. The first class was Aggie Loyola. It was about an hour long and we danced to a very smooth R&B song. Before Aggie taught the class, she told us that this dance was inspired by her feelings, and that all of the moves portray how she interprets the song. I was surprised that I was able to keep up with the class. Near the end of the class, Aggie split us into groups to dance the choreography. The groups were filmed and Aggie performed a solo.

The second class was taught by Jonathan Shay. The song we danced to was very fast. The footwork was pretty difficult to learn, but I was able to catch up with the class. Unfortunately, Jonathan was not able to teach much of his choreography because we ran out of time. So, he also split us into groups and we performed his dance. 

I was unable to take the class taught by Pat Cruz because I was so hungry. Right after Jonathan's class, I ran straight to the cafe in the studio and ate a big plate of chicken teryaki. As this was happening, the third class already started, so I was too late.
