About This Activity
Get ready to groove with our Hip-Hop Dance Classes! Inspired by hip-hop and pop dance, each session features high-energy warm-ups, stretching, rhythm-building exercises, and dynamic dance games to keep the fun alive. Students will learn isolation movements, across-the-floor progressions, and exciting choreography while exploring their personal style and boosting their confidence. Along the way, they’ll develop coordination, musicality, and performance skills, all in a supportive environment that encourages creativity, self-expression, and teamwork. At the end of the session, students will have the opportunity to perform a choreographed dance for friends and family.
