The FunKinetic Ministry of Funk: The FunKinetic Ministry of Funk (M.o. Funk) is a session-based class offered on Sundays to those interested in training at a more professional level. Each class is 2 1/2 hours long and offers a unique experience not found anywhere else in the Rocky Mountain region.

The class offers training in technique, history, and vocabulary to get the dancer started. Next, we focus on the development of performance skills. The goal of the class is to make students feel comfortable if they were to take center stage in a performance, on the dance floor, or the lead in a classroom. M.o. Funk serves as a feed to the professional group for those who develop the skill and desire.

Ongoing classes: The FunKinetic project will also be offering ongoing classes in various urban dance styles (Locking, Popping, Old Skool, B-boying/B-girling, and House).
