Students will learn the skills to execute all styles of hip-hop technique, including popping, breaking, locking, house, and popular grooves—old school and new. This is a dynamic hip-hop class with cutting edge choreography. The focus of the class is to build a strong technical foundation in hip-hop movement while also building performance quality and musicality. Each class includes a warm up (focusing on isolations of the body, conditioning, and stretching,) floor-work, technique, and combinations. Students will learn to improvise or "freestyle." This class is highly aerobic, teaching movement grounded in strength and confidence, and building quickness and agility of the body and mind.
