Hip-Hop

Dancers ages learn basic hip-hop-based dance steps and technique to fun music. Class will focus on levels and freezes, stage directions, and adding personality and attitude to movement. 

As Dancers learn how to make movement more grounded, strong, and entertaining, classes will explore different combinations throughout the year. A brief history of how Hip-Hop originated, and how it has evolved is part of class. Dancers work on strength and using different elements in their movement including melting and freezing, isolation, rolls, levels, and basic break-dancing are all included in the syllabus.
