Hip Hop dance classes will focus on a variety of dance styles that include elements of popping, locking, breaking, tutting and more that correspond to today's hip hop music. This fun class will have a similar structure to other dance classes including a warm-up, technique, and learning routines, but will be more about finding your inner funk and enjoying yourself to the beat of the music. Jump high, kick loud, and get down to the beat in this fun and stylized class.
