It was the best choreography I had done in a long time. We did our dance routine to LL Cool J's "Something like a phenomeon". It was brilliant and they even do dance competition in a circle just before the class ends.
If you are ever in New York don't miss out on a dance class from Luam at the Broadway Dance Center.

However when it comes to innovation of street style and hip hop dance moves Nigeria is at the forefront.
New dance styles such as the famous Azonto Style which was developed in Ghana is one of my favorite, or famous styles such as the Shoki Dance are always developing, especially in Nigeria. Nigerian's have such class and style when they dance and even me as a trained dancer find it challenging trying to copy the amazing steps full of swag. My husband tried to teach me the Shoki Dance and I looks like the trained dancer compared to me.
Check out one of my favorite youtube video showcasing the Azonto Dance.

Another cool video of the Shoki Dance from Lil Kesh and Dr Sid. My favorite so far.
