Hip-Hop

Born in New York City in the 1970s, Hip-Hop dance is an element of Hip-Hop culture. Our classes begin with a community building warm-up, followed by skill building exercises and drills in the center of the room. Students will explore their personal voice through freestyle as well as through a wide range of codified styles, including breaking, popping, and locking. Classes culminate in choreography and a cypher style improvisation.
