Teachers use current & popular clean versions of today's radio hits. This is an upbeat & fun way of learning choreography and the structure of a dance class. At all levels, our trained staff uses age-appropriate music and choreography to understand the beats and musicality necessary to execute hip-hop moves.

In this class, we focus on a sense of story, emotional connection, expansive visual movement, and performance. Students will emulate characters in the musicals, and learn bits of dance theater history to better understand how dance can be portrayed on stage and in real-world outlets. Students will act as specific characters or dance with a specific theme they will have to portray in order to tell a story.
