PROGRAM BEGINS
OCTOBER 4TH | 11 AM - 12 PM
A lot of studio dancers spend years taking “hip-hop” without being given the opportunity to fully understand the foundations, grooves, rhythm, movement quality, and history that inform the style.
IS YOUR HIP-HOP CLASS ACTUALLY TEACHING HIP-HOP?
This was created to give dancers more.
This program moves beyond simply learning choreography week after week and creates space for dancers to train with intention, build stronger foundations, and develop into more informed and individual artists.
How We Train
GROOVES + RHYTHM —
Develop a stronger understanding of bounce, rock, timing, pocket, weight, and rhythmic movement.
FOUNDATIONS —
Build a deeper understanding of foundational hip-hop movement and how those concepts translate into choreography and freestyle.
FOOTWORK —
Train coordination, weight transfer, pathways, speed, control, and movement efficiency.
ISOLATIONS + BODY AWARENESS —
Develop stronger control and a greater understanding of how different parts of the body move independently and together.
MUSICALITY + DYNAMICS —
Explore rhythm, textures, dynamics, timing, phrasing, and interpretation.
ARTISTRY + EXECUTION —
Develop individuality, confidence, intention, and a stronger personal movement identity while building presence, execution, commitment, retention, and confidence.
