Hip Hop Dance
Hip hop and you don’t stop.
Find the tempo. Students start by connecting with music. Using games and play to foster a relaxed social environment, students get comfortable moving in sync with the rhythm and employing basic footwork.
Rock your body. Once they learn foundational moves like two-steps and grooves, students next practice isolations—head, chest, hips—to improve body control and build towards complex moves such as popping and locking.
Dance the story. Hip hop dance is a storytelling medium. As we develop choreography and sequences, our groups learn to tell a story through movement. In time they add a personal spin: creating their own routines.
All skill levels welcome!
Our hip hop course is designed to accommodate a wide range of experience levels. All it takes is enthusiasm for dance to participate in our program. Our instructors tailor techniques and routines to students’ interests and abilities.
