In Honor of National Dance Week
This inaugural event for the Master Dance Series was a complete success. The dancers & teachers who particiapted were blown away by the passion of our Master Teachers. The students were challenged to take their artistry to the next level. Students also enjoyed unveiling their own works during the performance showcase. The master teachers' feedback was invaluable to these future professional dancers and choreographers.

Join us to witness one of the Top Krumpers of our time, Miss. Prissy. Discovered in greater city Los Angeles, “Miss. Prissy” is one of the most well rounded entertainers the southside of Hollywood has ever seen before. She is trained in all areas of dance from ballet down to hip hop. Miss. Prissy, (called "the Queen of Krump" in the film), born Marquisa Gardner, was already a well-respected dancer and teacher in her own neighborhood before Rize was ever shown. Miss Prissy was struck by its wild energy, and soon joined in on the performances and competitions herself, her natural talent and creativity making her one of its stars. In 2006, wanting to pursue her own musical career, Miss Prissy declined Madonna's offer to continue dancing in her tour and began persuing music. She is currently performing in Hollywood in clubs such as the Highlands and Aura nite club and across Europe and Asia , promoting her Mix tape, “Intro to Miss Prissy....The Jill Of All Trades”.
There will be Exciting New Dance Moves to thrill and challenge students of all ages, so don’t miss out!
