Friday Line Up @ House of Movement Pearl Studios 500 8th Ave 4th Floor Room 401 - $13 per class 7PM Beginner HipHop w/ Kristian Nacional 830PM Community Class w/ Paolo Aragona What do you get when you mix grainy VHS-recorded music videos, a Michael Jackson’s greatest hits cassette tape, hours of watching dance videos on a 56k dial-up connection, and a combination of curiosity and no shame? The origin story of Paolo’s sultry love affair with dance. From emulating MJ as a child in his hometown of Baguio City, Philippines, to the start of his freestyle foundation in popping, locking, and bboying in high school in the Philly suburbs, to today— Paolo’s movement vocabulary is always evolving. While attending college in Philly, Paolo frequented freestyle jams, trained at Koresh Dance and the Funky Sole Fundamentals, and experimented with jazz, modern, ballroom, and latin at the University of the Arts and University of Pennsylvania. Shortly after graduating, Paolo moved to NYC and has since trained at Broadway Dance Center, Monsters of HipHop, and industry and community workshops in the tri-state area. A proud member and alum of the east coast dance community— Paolo is no stranger to the stage. He is a former director and alum of iNERT!A Dance Team at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, an alum of UPenn’s Strictly Funk Dance Company, an alum of E.P.I.C. Motion Dance Company, and currently a dancer for Funkanometry NY. Some notable performance highlights include, The Filipino Channel’s One Kapamilya Go 2014 Concert at the Prudential Center, the choreography round of the So You Think You Can Dance Season 7 NYC Auditions, Funkanometry SF’s The Sock Hop 6 Showcase, Culture Shock DC’s International Choreographer’s Showcase, and World of Dance NY 2013. Advertising copywriter by day, dancer by night (that sounds saucy…) — Paolo is absolutely thrilled to share his imagination and groove with his fellow movers!
