Maya Sharpe & Jade Jordan: Killer Combo of Rhythm Tap & Hip-Hop (video)

Posted on June 5, 2013 by

You may recall my previous post about Ben Morris and Jennifer Deluca's WCS / hip-hop routine , and my problems with it. This rhythm tap / hip-hop routine by Maya Sharpe & Jade Jordan from the 2013 Jump Session Show demonstrates how powerful it can be when two dance genres work together seamlessly.

What I like about this piece is that there are no abrupt breaks where they are signalling "NOW WE ARE DOING HIP-HOP."  The whole thing feels organic and natural, with a simple narrative that doesn't get in the way. 

 

Credits:

  • Piece : "J.M.P: The Bus Stop"
  • Dancers : Maya Sharpe & Jade Jordan
  • Choreographer : Jovon Miller
  • Music : Fickermood by Forss
  • Videography by Patrick and Natasha
