Hip Hop (12-17)

Class description: Hip Hop originated in the late 70s in New York and was danced to funk and old school Hip-Hop music. By the 80s, Hip-Hop had evolved to also include popping & locking. These three elements (breaking, popping and locking) are the basis of old school Hip-Hop. New School Hip-Hop evolved in the 90s, inspired by breaking but including more upright dancing instead of floor movements.

This class begins with a short energetic warm-up. You will then be taught a fun hip-hop routine as well as working on freestyle skills.
