The deep dive

The Deep Dive previously existed as an ongoing, membership- based program rotating through different street style focuses, led by Vince Johnson. It's going to be changing slightly! The program will no longer be membership based, but rather series based. Style focus will rotate each round of the series, and each round will have a different featured instructor! This program welcomes all levels- advanced beginner friendly! This is a great program to do after The UMA Dip!

Street dance is truly an art form with tremendous depth. Since the emergence of modern American street dances like breaking and hip hop, dancers have felt connected to martial artists. Within all of the dance forms there are many techniques and the ability to go deep in search of your style and expression.

UPCOMING SERIES: POPPING STYLES & CONCEPTS

With an enthusiastic push from current UMA students, this new workshop will serve as a follow-up to our recent Popping Deep Dive series—while still offering accessible entry points for anyone new to the practice! Over the past few months, we’ve focused on developing stronger pops, expanding kinesthetic awareness, and exploring the Electric Boogaloo style through both movement and historical context. In this next chapter, we’ll continue building on that foundation while branching into styles often connected to Popping, such as waving, gliding, and dimestopping. These techniques not only deepen your understanding of funk styles but also enrich storytelling across other vernacular forms. I’m excited to keep growing and moving with you! -Emily "Lady Em" Culbreath
