Last night in class we did a fun hip hop routine to Mac Miller’s “Party on Fifth Ave” and it was so much fun that I just had to ask a few peeps to stay after class and record it with me!  Here it is, and I hope you enjoy!  Leave a comment to let me know if you like, and if you ever want to try out the class, let me know!
