‘BIG CHOCOLATE’ BRINGS HIP HOP TO BYU CLASSROOMS
Walking around campus in a durag and snapback, with tattoos peeking out from under his sleeves, Marc Cameron doesn’t look like a typical BYU instructor. Cameron is proficient in most hip-hop dance forms but has earned the most fame through popping, a street style dance where dancers flex their muscles in time with the music to create a popping effect. The two-time world champion popper teaches students about hip-hop dance forms and the culture surrounding them.

Virginie Mecene and Ari Mayzick (center), veterans of the world-renowned Martha Graham Dance Company, understand this, often teaching with movement only; here, Mayzick supports Mecene as she leans sideways, yearning outward while remaining rooted to the ground. In July, Mecene and Mayzick trained BYU students in the expressive Graham technique at a three-week contemporary dance master class.
