Applications Open - Rennie Harris University ~ Street Dance Certification Program

10/8/2021

Apply for the first ever Hip Hop and Street Dance Certificate Program. The Certificate program is dynamic, rigorous and uniquely designed to prepare students to advance the field of dance; nurturing the next generation of hip hop scholars.

Rennie Harris has been developing the Street Dance Teacher Certification Program for the last 40 years. Having spent the last 10 years offering courses in academia, Harris has developed a curriculum that functions within the academic institution while establishing a strong foundation for all Street Dance forms, also referred to as “styles.” The program goes beyond teaching dance steps, by fostering technically proficient teachers who are cultural ambassadors of the rich history and cultural lineage of the forms.

As Hip-hop and Street Dance alike become global phenomena, it is imperative to create a training program that establishes a strong foundation in technique, musicality, improvisation, and the historical context that informs the genre. The program will serve as a model for future teacher training programs within the field of Street Dance.

Universities and colleges are encouraged to invest in their students' participation in this program, and also sharing this information directly with students within dance programs respectfully. Spring applications opened October 1st and the deadline to apply is December 15th. For more information please feel free to visit RennieHarrisUniversity.org.
