About

Herbert Holler has been a party producer, promoter and DJ for over 25 years. He’s played at the most notable lounges, bars and dance clubs in NYC nightlife history, from Wall Street to 125 th , from Brooklyn to the Bronx, not-to-mention guest spots across the globe, in cities like Tokyo, Venice and London. He’s also created the most legendary old-school dance party in world history, Herbert Holler’s Freedom Party®, voted “Best Party” by Papermag, Village Voice and URB (now in its 20 th year of parties, with over 1000 events to date, touching dance floors on a regular basis in New York and Philadelphia), My House™, a highly sought-after dancers’ destination for deep house music, and his latest production, Jams™, a new dance party centered around hits from the late-90s and 2000s.

Growing up in New York City’s Artsy Lower East Side during the early 1970’s and 80’s, Conrad Rochester discovered his passion for music and dance. Initially, at the age of 9 with the Hustle, then later as a young teenager, he became involved in the B-Boy Scene. Self taught and motivated through competition, Conrad’s movements were elevated through local battles and inspiration from Martial Arts films. He was enticed by the fruition of this form of dance into Breaking and House through the incorporation of more foot and floor work. It was no surprise that at just 17, he was already accepted and known as a member of the Loft and Paradise Garage Movements.

Through his movement, Conrad has continued to mesmerize and entice audiences on so many levels of life. He has had cameo appearances in several dance films including “Wild Style”, “Maestro” and the most recent “Check Your Body at the Door.” Conrad has also performed and choreographed for various dance companies and artists including Project, Vissi Dance Company, Louie Vega, Mr. V, The Martinez Brothers, The Legendary House of Ninja, Niles Ford’s dance-umentary “In Search of the Invisible People,” and James “Cricket” Coulter’s , Astral Kinetic Urban Project. He is constantly judging and teaching locally and abroad for various annual events ass well as his own weekly practice The Loft Practice. In early 2007, he launched House Dance International (HDI), the first Urban Dance Festival designed to provide unity and leadership in the global House Dance Community. A year later he established The Funk Box, NYC. His most recent venture is the Hangtime Party which is a free event for dance expression and community building.

Conrad is best known for his signature handstands, dives and mesmerizing fluidity. His teaching style incorporates athleticism and an emphasis on free spirit movements.
