Meet.....
JR. UNDERGROUND CREW
"Jr. Underground Crew was an idea my husband (Bobby Kuhn) and I both had. After our first show of Underground, we had several young dancers who loved what they saw and wanted to be a part of the experience. Since our intentions were to unite the Hip Hop scene, with the Studio Scene...what better way to do that by bringing all types of young dancers, from different studios and different trainings' together to share one love. We have dancers from all walks of life. A few dancers who strictly train with private teachers to develop their freestyle, like popping and/or hip hop. We then have dancers from several different studios such as Just Dance Studio, Synergy Dance Academy, Becky School of Dance, LA Dance Co. and Dance Crew (I could be missing some). The only requirement we ask of these dancers is that they are training out side of Jr. Underground. This program does not offer intense training, it is only taking what dancers are already working on and helping them utilize those talents in our show. We don't offer free lessons', we are simply giving current dancers an opportunity to perform in a professional show, and learn what its like to do lighting, tech rehearsals, and a more theatrical performance. Dancers need to be at an intermediate/advanced level when they audition. It has truly been a honor to work with these dancers and we are thankful for the support their parents bring."

Choreographers for the Jr. Undergound piece this season is Savinn Chhoun and Uly
What has been the best part about getting the opportunity to work with Jr. Underground?
"The best part about teaching jr underground...that's a tough one because I keep writing something and end up deleting it! Everything about jr underground is amazing! I appreciate the young talent that they bring to the table and that definitely inspires me to be a better dancer. I'm assuming most of jr underground comes from the studio world and to see them quickly adapt to something totally different is jaw dropping! Love y'all!"
-Savinn Chhoun
"Knowing the talent only gets better and better, and having the next generation of dancers learn so quickly and get better, makes me more hungry to become a better dancer"
-Uly Gonzalez
Uly and Savinn are 3rd season members and they are one of the hardest working, reliable and respectable dancers we have. They have grown immensely over the years. They are very creative and we can't wait to see what the future has in store for them.
Thank you Savinn and Uly for the extra time you put into the Jr. Underground piece!
