New Orleans bounce, the energetic, call-and-response style of hip hop from NOLA, is officially taking over!  The music comes with the signature and enigmatic booty bounce dance, and you can learn how to shake it like one of the best at the bounce dance class next Tuesday, June 1st.

Altercation, one of renowned bounce artist Big Freedia's top dancers, is hosting the class in Brooklyn, which is open to any and all skill levels.  Check out the video below to get ready, Altercation is featured throughout the video in the long grey dress:

Hey All!
I am so stoked to see so many ladies (and some dudes!) wanna support NOLA bounce!
The class will be at Party Expo (http://www.partyexpobrooklyn.com/) on Tues June 1st. We just need a couple more people to sign up and we can confirm the class. Tentatively it will start at 7:30 pm and go till about 9:30 or 10. There is going to be a lot of stretching so dress appropriately. During the stretching Altercation will lead a conversation to loosen up the mind focusing on gender, class, race and cultural reciprocation. Bring water cause she is going to work you out! The class price is a sliding scale of $10-20. Spread the word! Here is a link to the facebook invite http://www.facebook.com/event....2621963623

I can't wait! Thank you so much for your interest. I will send another email around Monday confirming the time and location.
Azz Errrrywhere!
xoxo,
Callie

Umm...I'm not sure where this was shot but the bounce club I went to in Nola was basically all black people, with the exception of me and some friends of mine. Why are all the asses and interviews in this video white? It doesn't seem very representative and seems appropriative, IMHO.
