The Subculture in Berlin has given Joy a sense of belonging in a community. These urban and club dance styles taught Joy another level of expressing herself.
Her participation in several dance battle events as a dancer and jury such as the organization of cypher sessions (like the Open Forum session made her celebrate and embrace this way of exchange.
Her experience and knowledge within these cultures has also an effect on her way of creating movement and teaching philosophies.
„Living the free spirit and the challenge of improvising to the music in the moment.
A dance battle and freestyle session is a direct exchange and a way of expressing your individual skills through technique, musicality, foundation, feeling and creativity. A culture full of diversity that brings people together which creates a sense of support, respect and belonging.“ - Joy Alpuerto Ritter
