 Hip Hop
Jasper Breslin
$250
Grades 3-4
from N’Ferno Dance Company
Limit: 15 students
In the Hip Hop Enrichment class students learn different dances every week in varying styles
of Hip Hop Dance. Through warm up, stretching, choreography, tricks, and games, students
learn all about Hip Hop in a fun and educational environment. Dance builds confidence and
strengthens memorization and coordination skills and Hip Hop enables the participants to
rock out to music they love and listen to every day.
Jasper Breslin is currently a Dance Performance Major in college and has experience in
various styles of dance. She has been training in Hip Hop dance for nine years, and has been
teaching for the past two. As a current dance instructor for N'Ferno Performing Arts Center,
students in the after school Hip Hop program will get a feel for what dance class in a studio
is really like.
 Krav Maga – Beginners
Grades K-4
Brian Kushner
$300
of Roundhouse Krav Maga
& Martial Arts
 Beginners (first time students or one previous semester)
Limit: 12 students
Krav Maga was founded and developed originally by Imi (Lichtenfeld) Sde-Or. Imi created
Krav maga for military purposes, meant to improve combat abilities of Israeli IDF soldiers in
the early 50's. Over the years, the Krav Maga system was further developed by Imi to
provide self-defense solutions for the civilian sector as well.
At Roundhouse Krav Maga in Krieger Schechter we teach our Krav Maga students avoidance
of confrontation, then defenses when necessary to escape a situation. We also show the
students variations in techniques if the attacker is a bully their size, or a stranger - an adult
they do not know. We talk about options that they have in situations, what is okay to do
and what is excessive.
A portion of the classes includes games that stress the same skills they are using in
techniques to promote muscle memory.
*Please pack comfortable clothing for exercise to wear during this class.
*A Krav Maga t-shirt will be provided, please indicate your child’s shirt size on registration
form.
