Danyelle Burke North
The 18th annual Yuma hip hop dance festival is back in town! The two day dance convention is hosted by Jazz of Yuma and offers six master classes taught by famous LA choreographers and dancers.
Students also enjoy a Q & A with industry professionals, auditions, and a showcase.
The studio owner says this is one of their biggest events with several participants even flying in from out of state.
“The guest artists that are coming in are amazing like absolutely amazing! They just came back from the VMAs and the Emmys and all that and then now they’re in Yuma, so it’s a crazy thought, but it’s all coming together, and we’re really excited to get started,” said Dawn’s Dance Studio owner Dawn Atherton.
There are two master classes Friday and four Saturday at the Quechan Casino. You can register in-person at the convention.
