Hip Hop Dance and Art of Freestyling Workshop

In this class you will learn the fundamentals of Hip Hop dance and art of freestyling.


Growing up with musicians as parents, Kevin Paradox started dancing at the age of 7. His skill, however, did not come naturally. After 10 years, he would find out he had little knowledge of the art of dance. This started his journey for information and led him to create his own methods. Inspired by not just dance, but also art in general, he took his interests in martial arts, sports, science and philosophy, and made them the blueprint of his dance. Creating dance theory, exercises and philosophy, and combining it with a passion for dance and hard work, made him the dancer known today.


Holding over 25 titles including a world championship title. Kevin Paradox now teaches his methods worldwide including the biggest dance camps such as Fairplay Dance Camp, H2K and Beat Camp, changing the perspective of dance and sometimes life there where he passes.


Kevin will be at FAD 2019 and give workshops in Hip Hop, freestyle, and more!
