I can barely keep my eyes open as I write this. At this moment I am uploading over 1,000 images that we took yesterday at the 5th Annual All About Downtown Street Fair. What an incredible day!! Thousands of people came out to eat, shop local, enjoy live music and hang out with their neighbors. […]
Top Fifteen Things to do This Weekend in Jersey City: JC Fridays Edition
There is so much going on this weekend that our calendar is literally overflowing with events. Jersey City is going to be bustling with arts and music and so much more that we had to reduce it all down to a list of Fifteen. Fifteen might seem a bit underwhelming but it’ll give a great […]
Top 7 Things to do This Weekend in Jersey City
I always find it a little too ordinary when people say that “There’s nothing to do on the weekend.” One of the best parts about living in Jersey City as it is at its peak is that there’s so much to do and so little time. As cliché as that may be, it’s the truth – spreading […]
Hideaway!
Happy Wednesday friends. It’s been a while since my last dance video post and since we are all getting in shape for the summer I wanted to share one of my favorite summer jams. It’s not very “hip hoppy” but it’s a really fun choreography, inspired by the actual Kesza “Hideaway” video. Hope you enjoy! […]
Ball!
“Ball” by T.I is one of my favorite songs to dance to, it’s upbeat and the choreo makes me feel like such a bad ass! I incorporated a little bit of the “crip walk” and of course a “ballin” movement. It’s a simple dance but really gets your heart pumping! I suggest actually trying this […]
Zoey Ramone
Jess, aka Zoey Ramone, is a tattoo artist at Jersey City Tattoo and has tattooed some of the most stylish JC people; menswear fashion blogger Denny who also works at Another Man’s Treasure, Carla owner of Balance Salon (post coming soon), Kari my stylish peep and “girl crush and so many more… Jess is the ultimate babe, she […]
Bojangles!
Happy Hump day y’all. Another Wednesday means another Hip Hop Dance video! This one is a throwback jam. I am not the biggest fan of Pitbull but some of his beats just make you want to dance, like this one… Speaking of Hip Hop. This Sat night (Jan 31rst) I am hosting a “Raw Dinner” […]
Twerk it!
Happy Wednesday friends! It’s a New Year, which means everyone is back to the gym, eating healthy and getting life back on track. I am all about doing what’s good for the soul! For me, dancing is my meditation. When I teach my hip hop class once a week, I shut my brain and just […]
Hello World
This week marked ChicpeaJC’s 6 month anniversary since my first post “Hello World“. Which so happens to be a song I also teach in my Hip Hop class. Every time I hear this Kid Ink jam it reminds me of when I first published ChicpeaJC, it brings up all those feelings of anticipation and excitement. […]
Jersey City: Halloween 2014
Past Halloween’s consisted of finding a last-minute costume, going somewhere for drinks and then being in bed by 11pm. After my big birthday/90’s dance party in July, DJ George Soul and I, immediately decided we should throw another party…. “80’s Halloween Prom”. This time we wanted to go bigger and better, so we teamed up […]
Gimme Dat
Happy Wednesday friends. This week I am away on much needed family time, but still thinking about my peeps back home! I am in need to shake my booty, thankfully I am going to my cousins wedding tonight so hopefully there will be plenty of opportunities to drop it like it’s hot…. or just doing […]
Strip
It’s been a while since I posted a Hip Hop dance video so let’s take a break from the vintage fashion world and bring it back to the streets… or in this case the bedroom. Chris Brown is not my favorite person but I do really like this track, my class especially really feels this […]
the.grey
A little over a week ago, I was tinkering on Instagram and saw an influx of “likes” from someone nicknamed the.grey. Naturally, I was curious and checked her out. “the.grey” is a really successful fashion blogger with the most incredible style. I immediately developed a girl crush. Then I found out she actually lives in […]
Wiggle Wiggle
Well? Wiggle wiggle… I will be the first to admix this song is cheesy as f-k but it’s also a no-brainer dance jam. Too bad I can’t serve vodka sodas in class and have my people really getting into it. I teach every Wednesday at Base NJ in Jersey City!
Bottoms up!
This weeks hip hop dance video is Trey Songz Bottoms up. This is one of my oldest choreographies, its easy and fun and gets the heart rate pumping! I teach every Wednesday at Base Gym in Jersey City! Check it.#twerkit
Where have you been?
It’s Hip Hop Wednesday! I love this Rihanna Jam, and the dance is sooo fun! That’s all I really have to say about that… Do you guys seriously need a back story for all my videos? I teach on Wednesdays at Base here in Jersey City!! Check it. #twerkit
CHICpeaJC Hip Hop Dance Party
A couple of weeks ago I was toying with the idea of throwing a hip hop dance party. It was the day I decided to leave my job of 7 years in the tech field to pursue CHICpeaJC full time and other projects. I felt like I needed a big bash to celebrate this new […]
Dance Till the World Ends
This is not exactly a gangsta hip hop song but it does get the people moving and that is all that matters. Good ol’ Britney Spears…. I really love this dance, its easy yet gets that heart rate up… When I teach this song in class I feel like I am in a rave, minus […]
You Really Turn Me On
Whenever I listen to an MJ song it brings back my happiest childhood memories, of me my brother and sister dancing in our living room. My brother is the best dancer, and I learned a lot of my moves from him…. My brother used to rock the Jerry Curl, White suit with pleats… I wish […]
Iz u down?
Iz u down? I love how hip hop music can totally get away with making up words/mispelling them etc… which is perfect for me! It makes my writing look sophisticated! I love this Kid Ink song, in fact the whole albums screams hip hop dance party! I teach every Wednesday at Base Gym in Jersey […]
