Frequently Asked Questions
Will hip hop dancers perform?
Definitely. Hip hop classes feed our Winter Holiday Show and Spring Production, so dancers get a real stage to bring their energy.
Does the class cover more than just choreography?
Yes. Our hip hop classes introduce the styles, history, and origins of the form, and older dancers get an introduction to breaking.
What shoes should my dancer wear? (hip hop)
Clean sneakers or high tops worn only inside the studio — not the shoes they wore in from the street. Keep hair secured and skip jeans or long dresses.
Does my child need experience? (hip hop)
No experience needed. Our hip hop classes welcome beginners and build coordination, rhythm, and confidence step by step.
What age can my child start hip hop?
Hip hop starts around age 5 with our Mini Bop class, then continues through Youth Hip Hop and Jr/Teen Hip Hop for older kids and teens.
