Explore some of today's popular dance moves and the fundamentals of Hip Hop in this energetic class. We'll have a blast as we work on developing coordination and body awareness through various isolations and grooves. In addition to a warm-up and technical practice, each class incorporates choreographic elements to strengthen performance quality, musicality, and promote confidence. We'll always dedicate time to creativity and expression through freestyling and cypher circles. Students are encouraged to share and celebrate one another’s unique style.

Dancers have several performing opportunities including The Nutcracker, the January Showcase, the Spring Concert, the June Showcase, and student choreography showings. Costume and production fees are not included in tuition.
