But after freestyling at Boom Chicago in Amsterdam with Baby Wants Candy and on Broadway with Freestyle Love Supreme, I have some simple techniques that made the practice fun, easy and accessible to everyone. Join me to learn the very basics of Freestyle and Hip Hop and discover the joy of participating in a cypher at the end of the course!
