Shakia Johnson, center, is reflected in a mirror during the Hip Hop Class she was teaching during the Young Dancers Workshop at the Bates Dance Festival in Lewiston Thursday afternoon. The class combines "old-school and new-school" techniques said Johnson as she changed eras on her laptop song collection that was playing while they danced. The Festival, in it's 35th year continues all summer with numerous free and paid performances from emerging and world renouned dancers.
