Her style is mixed with Ghetto Stiletto and girly Hip-Hop. In her Hip-Hop talons class, there is walking and posing exercise with free styling. A way for each person to find and to express their own style. "We all are different and have a different way to dance and to feel the music. The most important thing is to be yourself and to dance with happiness." The Hip-Hop talons class is welcome to everybody with or without heels, just come to have fun. Every Friday 17h30-19h.
