A dancer who has taught and performed in Denton will return briefly to present a hip-hop master class.
After the class for ages 10 and older on Saturday, dancer and instructor Chris Koehl will travel back to Los Angeles to complete the taping of the Fox reality television show So You Think You Can Dance.
Koehl made it into the top 14 dancers in the series' current season. At Denton Dance Conservatory, he has taught hip-hop dance - a form of dance founded on urban streets performed with rap, hip-hop and urban music.
He is also a member of F-Troop, a competition hip-hop dance crew with the Revelation Dance Studio in Dallas. Several years ago, he choreographed and performed a solo in the Denton City Contemporary Ballet's A Gift for Emma.
The class starts at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Denton Dance Conservatory, 4103 Mesa Drive.
The class costs $20 per person.
Koehl is the second hip-hop teacher from the local conservatory to make it onto the Fox TV series.
Comfort Fedoke taught hip-hop dance at the studio before the series led her to appear in music videos, go on R&B tours and head into the recording studio.
