Jackson Fryer brings two days of focused technique to Pound It Studio. Day one is Popping — work through the Fresno, feel the Boogaloo, and sharpen your hits against the music. Day two is Hip Hop — build your bounce and footwork, then play with timing to make every step your own. Whether you take one or both, you’ll leave with real tools and a deeper connection to the culture. This workshop is included in our competitive tuition for all Pound It competitive dancers.
