Hip Hop II - 8-9 Year Olds and Up (1 hour)

Hip hop is an energetic way to learn new, hip moves and have fun at the same time. At this level students are introduced to the style and feel of hip hop dance. Each class period includes a quick warm up and then moves into combinations across the floor. Students are taught to remember basic steps up to full 16-8 count combinations. Hip Hop II is the introductory level for hip hop at the Academy. Students younger than eight years old are encouraged to take Jazz I classes prior to reaching the minimum age for hip hop.

Hip Hop III - 11-12 Year Olds and Up (1 hour)

This is a beginning-intermediate level class for students who have had previous hip hop or jazz class experience. Some of the objectives for this class are for the students to learn basic rhythm and to develop an understanding of the musical connection to hip hop choreography. At this level students are continuing to understand the style of hip hop. Each class includes a warm-up period, 2 or more combinations across the floor, and a short routine. Some main objectives for this class are for the students to break away from any shyness and to have fun while continuing to learn and improve!

Hip Hop V - By Teacher Placement (1 hour)

This an advanced class for teens and adults with substantial previous hip hop dance experience. Choreography is fun and challenging. Students are able to understand, retain and dance new choreography of varying styles with ease.

_____________________

Beginning Adult Hip Hop - Adults of All Ages (1 hour)

This class is designed for adults with little to no dance training. It is a fun, free-to-let-yourself-go kind of class. The goal of this class is to provide choreography in which each dancer will be able to add their own personal style and attitude. Most of all, the class is designed for people to feel comfortable (you must be able to laugh at yourself sometimes!) Routines are usually repeated every two weeks, allowing students to build on their past week of experience.
