This is a fun, high-energy program where students learn the fundamentals of hip-hop dance. Popular with both girls and boys, our program promotes artistic expression, movement and teamwork in a fun, musical environment. Hip-hop dance instructors choreograph a competition routine that students learn and practice throughout the session in preparation for our hip-hop dance competition! Family and Friends are invited. Youth ages 6 and above are invited to enroll in this dance program.

Hip-hop dance classes meet once a week.
Hip-hop clothing and dance knee pads are available for purchase at class and online.

Each session, hip-hop dance students improve existing skills and learn new hip-hop dance techniques.

Students advance from Lil Hip Hoppers to Hip Hoppers to Sliders to Shakers to Poppers to Stompers to Freestylers to Krumpers to Breakers. Students receive a plaque and certificate.

Perfect attendance is rewarded at the end of each session. Hip-hop dance students missing a lesson may take a make-up lesson and still receive the perfect attendance award! To make up a missed lesson, students take 2 classes back-to-back prior to the end of the session. Students may take the class prior to their normal class time or take the class following their normal class time. Please see the instructor for more information.
