In Hip Hop Creative Dance, students their imaginations and skill of how their senses can be used for self-expression, including movements, sounds, colors, environments, textures, theatrical characters and more. Kids learn moves, patterns, names and origins of street dance styles from around the the U.S. while practicing styles created across more than 5 decades of culture. Each class has a theme focusing on foundation movements and musicality from old school hip hop of breaking, popping, waving, gliding and more to present day styles being created by the next generation. Class engages kids in fun freestyle movement games, create movement concepts, while listening to familiar and unfamiliar music.
Students become better story tellers with their body language and grow confidence, kinesthetic awareness, musical sensibilities, athletic abilities and overall mind-body-soul connections. Class is designed to promote great fitness, individual imagination and group collaboration, along with learning to communicate clearly and respectfully no matter how abstract an idea or style, because individuality is everything.
