Hip-Hop 101

Walton Arts Center has launched Hip-Hop 101, an on-site after-school program that allows students to learn elements of hip-hop dance, music production and stage presence from trained professionals in the field – all at no cost to them.

The teaching artists represent the best of the NWA hip-hop scene, including choreographers and teachers CeCe Maire and Joshoua Vang; songwriter, rapper and music producer Jeremiah Pickett, aka B.A.A.N.G.; audio engineering and fashion designer Jasper Logan; and DJ Anthony Williams.

Washington and Leverett elementary schools, the Fayetteville Boys & Girls Club and Fayetteville ALLPS, the School of Innovation, have participated in the popular program. All spots are currently full for the year.

Hip-Hop 101 will end with a live performance on our stage and an originally produced EP album.
