S.L.I.D.E. to the Top: Scholarship Level Interactive Dance Education #3
The Intersection of Jookin and Education
But here’s the twist—Jookin is more than just street culture. As it blew up, going from the streets to international stages, it kept its Memphis roots but showed it could do more. However, as far back as 2006, people saw the potential to bring Jookin into the classroom.
I know what you're thinking: "How can a street dance educate?" But that's exactly why Jookin is so powerful—it turns what looks like chaos into something structured, something teachable. Jookin is a dance built on metrics, on understanding the space and time between each step, and each pivot. And that’s where Jookin Metrics Intelligence (JMI) comes in.
