Keaton is a Greene County native, and I originally heard about him through our old intern at the farm, who is a friend of his. I contacted him a year ago but he was headed off to Boston. After a year there he missed the idyllic beauty and serenity of Greene County and came back. And then, lo and behold, I ran into him at the Farmer's Market! I was so excited to hear he was back!!!
I immediately began plotting how to get him teaching for me...
Luckily for all of us, he agreed, and now we have hip hop at The Dance Barn!!! The kids' class (ages 8+) and the adult/teen class are both running, and there are spots open in each. Everyone loves the talent and enthusiasm he brings to his classes! Plus there are the cartwheels and backflips...can it get any better? So come join us!!
As always, here's the official bio as well!
***********************************************************
Keaton Rodland discovered choreographed dance at the age of 4 when he was signed up for tap class in Charlottesville. After taking a short hiatus to pursue a t-ball career he performed in Four County's The Nutcracker, and then started taking a hip-hop class at Orange School of Performing Arts. From there his love of breakdancing unfolded. His teachers and friends supported his interest and taught him what they knew about b-boys and the culture (B-boy = Break Boy = Breakdancer). Keaton has won regional title awards at dance competitions including Star Power and Star Systems. In addition to hip-hop, Keaton has studied jazz, ballet, modern and tap. He has danced with some b-boy legends as well as modern hip-hop choreographers. Keaton attended Boston University for a year studying acting/performing (Class of 2012), but soon thirsted for country air and the possibility of dancing out in nature. He knows we've all heard it, but wants everyone to remember that when dancing...Have Fun!
