Profile
Valerie Ho, professionally known as Ms. Vee, holds bachelor's degrees in Education and in Human Kinetics, the study of human movement. She has taught since 1993 and joined the Broadway Dance Center faculty in New York in 2004.
Her movement education includes freestyle hip-hop, breaking, popping, locking, house, Chinese dance, concert dance and martial arts. Her teachers include Mr. Wiggles, Skeeter Rabbit, Popin Pete, Greg Campbellock Jr., Ken Swift and Buddha Stretch.
She has performed in Rennie Harris' Legends of Hip-Hop Off-Broadway and touring productions, with Moptop Music and Movement and The Groovaloos, and toured with Strathcona Chinese Dance Company.
Her hip-hop foundations classes connect grooves, vocabulary, technique and history to choreography, and they blend drills and short choreography phrases. Popping classes break down muscle control and individual steps before applying them in a phrase. Breaking instruction covers toprock, footwork and freezes.
Ms. Vee (Val Ho) joined Pace University’s Commercial Dance BFA program as a faculty member in 2013, and in 2017 she became the first hip-hop teacher in Juilliard’s Dance Department. She was also a featured dancer and co-choreographer in Kiesza’s “Hideaway” video.
