Hip Hop 5/6/7 Advanced Class
Hip Hop dance combines a variety of freestyle movements to create a charismatic and unique piece of art. Dancers will learn the three main styles of popping, locking, and breaking; and understand why hip-hop dance has evolved into one of the most popular and influential styles of dance. Our advanced class will help the dancers more deeply express and build on the fundamentals that were learned in the beginner levels.
