hip-hop is taught.
WHO: Professional dancer Quami
Adams and the California State University, Dominguez Hills

Adams has danced in the touring production
of “Stomp” and
for such notable entertainers as Quincy Jones, Christina
Aguilera and tap dancer/choreographer Savion Glover. A part-time
dance instructor at El Camino College in Torrance, Adams
also choreographs many of that college’s dance concerts.

WHY: The CSUDH Dance Program is transitioning to become
a major course of study at the university. Currently it is

with a more diverse offering and, by inviting professional
dancers to work with students, aims to raise the profile
of the dance program.
