WORKSHOP CONTENT:

The 3-hour workshop aims to cover the following topics:

  • What is Afro?

  • What is afro music made of?

INSTRUCTOR BIO:

Tony is a dancer from France. He arrived in Sydney early 2019 when he started teaching afro beginner classes at crossover studios in the CBD. He later started getting more involved in the community, the street scene as well as the studio scene and the industry. He now also navigates through commercial, voguing and kpop, hoping to be able to cater to as many students as possible, and grow as a mover.
