Hip-hop refers to street dance or party dance styles primarily performed to hip-hop music that have evolved as part of hip-hop culture. We will use the terms: Hip Hop, Street Styles and Party/Club Dances interchangeably. Styles include breaking, house, popping, and more. In class we will address movement qualities, dynamics, timing and personal style. Classes generally start with a warm-up and learned “groove” progressions, then we work on a combination which chains movement in a longer sequence. Hip-hop/ Street Styles can range from smaller isolated movements to large full bodied expressions and possibly a “freestyle” (improvisational) component. At the end of the day the goal is to be present and have fun.
Listed below are the Hip Hop classes we offer. We don’t always offer every class, so make sure to check the Class Schedule to see what is offered each session.
Come ready to dance and sweat! Warm up, learn a few hip hop progressions and dive right into the choreography. This class is geared towards learning the movement, building up to full out performance by the end of the session.
