Hip Hop
Hip-hop - This is a form of street dance that evolved from hip hop culture and hip-hop music. It borrows from several different styles such as African Dance, Tap, and Ballet. As we transformed from freestyle street dance into a more uniform and technical style, we were able to create a fun, upbeat environment that allows anyone to join in and dance along.
Contemporary / Modern
This class will combine elements of several dance genres including jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements.
