Hip Hop / Breaking

Hip Hop Dance is a movement style characterized by bounces and rocks, executed to Hip Hop music. It has deep historical and social roots in African American culture, having emerged in Black communities living in 1970s New York.

Students enrolled in Hip Hop classes will receive technical training to support their embodiment of Hip Hop Culture. Hip Hop is a essentially a movement that represents the freedom to learn, grow, and evolve. We provide movement tools support our students' ability to freestyle and apply the movement language as a positive form of release.

Breaking (often called breakdancing by popular media) is the original dance style that came out of the Hip Hop community. It started out with these 5 core movements: Top Rocks, Fast Footwork, Back Rocks, Freezes, and Power Moves.
