OUGD505 - Design Practice 2 - Studio Brief 01 - Micro-Genres of Music - Dances Moves Manual

One of my 3 final ideas for this project is to create a dance moves manual for the popular moves during the disco house era.

I have done some research into the different moves;

- Bump & Hustle
- Footwork
- Jacking
- Lofting
- Wacking
- Farmer


The Bump;

-Bump and clash with a partner of your choice
-Jump up with arms in air, bring them down and move body to side, bump bums with partner.
