Dancer Marquese Scott's first masterclass at a university campus was held at the Museum.
The American choreographer brought together hundreds of people from the University and the city at the Museum's theater to talk about his beginnings in urban dance.
The dancer Marquese Scott gave his first masterclass in a university environment at the Museum's theater on February 11 in the evening of campus . For more than an hour, the choreographer explained his beginnings in the world of dance and gave a performance in front of hundreds of people from the University of Navarra and the city.
"If you have a dream, fight, learn and don't stop until you achieve it. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't make it happen". With this committee Marquese Scott closed his masterful class at the Museum. On the stage of the theater, the artist told listeners how he began his career as a dancer. From defeat in a street battle of dancers when he was only 12 years old, Scott got up and set out to win in a rematch with his opponent. He never saw him again but thanks to that failure the choreographer began to rehearse constantly and to learn in a self-taught way.
Scott also explained his time on the television competitions So you think you can dance and America's got talent and advised the dancers present in the theater not to participate in this subject of talent shows."My moves didn't have a label, they were totally new. Just for not qualifying on a known dance subject , the jury would kick me out in the first phase of the auditions. A year later, I got my YouTube video to go viral with over 120 million views and I haven't stopped dancing. With this, I want to show that you shouldn't get sucked into baseless criticism, but work hard to turn it into praise," confessed Scott.
Before the end of his speech, an 11-year-old boy was encouraged to dance with Scott and learn some of his moves to the rhythm of "dubstep".
In the afternoon, the dancer closed his participation in the Coda en Movimiento cycle with a performance in the Museum's hall in front of more than 200 people. The dancer gave the public three performances instead of the two planned. The previous day he surprised the students of the University of Navarra with another performance at School of Communication during a break between classes in the morning and another one in the afternoon at the Museum.
