Every six weeks we tackle a new facet of Hip-hop dance, e.g basics, popping, locking, krumping. This a smaller class with a more intensive, and slower paced class. Great for those who have never danced before and for those that want to pay special attention and get their foundation steps down pat. course numbers strictly limited
Hip-hop Basics
Complete with a warm-up and stretch, this class is a slower paced class with a simply choreographed Hip-hop routine, teaching you many of the foundation moves of Hip hop Dance. Great for beginners or those wishing to “get back into it”; is a fun class for fitness purposes. course numbers strictly limited
The class contain all the elements of Freestyle Hip Hop dance such as Locking, Popping, House and variety of footwork moves, with the one most important element “Grooving” (the in between) To bop, swag, transfer, and flow within and during your dance moves.
This class will be of use to trained dancers who wish to learn how to freestyle, a skill that is of use for Hip Hop videos and and Hip Hop stage shows. Learn how to ‘fill’ without relying on choreography.
Locking (originally Campbellocking) is a style of streetdance, which is today also associated with hip hop dance. It relies on fast and distinct arm and hand movements combined with more relaxed hips and legs. The movements are generally large and exaggerated, and often very rhythmic and tightly synched with the music. Locking is quite performance oriented, often interacting with the audience by smiling or giving them a high five, and some moves are quite comical in nature.
Poppin’
Popping is a funk dance and street dance style based on the technique of quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in the dancer’s body, referred to as a pop or a hit. This is done continuously to the rhythm of a song in combination with various movements and poses. It is also used as an umbrella term for a group of closely related illusionary dance styles and techniques that are often integrated with popping to create a more varied performance. Like other street dances, popping is often performed in battles, trying to outperform another dancer or group of dancers in front of a crowd. This gives room for improvisation and moves that are seldom seen in shows and performances, such as interaction with the other contestants and spectators.
Freestyle sessions ***THIS IS NOT A CLASS*** KRUMP dancers of all levels come together to build their style, character and moves. There are people on hand to assist beginners and advise. This is like a circle situation. You are welcome to join in or just come along and watch.
Wear non-restrictive clothing so that you can move easily while dancing.
Comfortable footwear is a must such as running shoes or a dance sneaker.
Wear clothing that encourages your self expression and become the dancer
that you want to be!
