Hip-Hop

Hip-Hop dance is a very popular form of dance that incorporates street style dance with choreographed expressions and is primarily performed to hip-hop music. Because of how it was formed and how it’s practiced, Hip-Hop is considered a street dance, which means it can be done with or without a formal dance background.

Whether or not you have had the resources to be technically trained in dance, you can master this style! Today, many classes practice elements of various Hip-Hop dances, often mixing them with more structured dance styles such as Jazz and various tumbling skills.

Since Hip-Hop is such a broad genre, it gives students room to interpret movements in various ways. Although Hip-Hop classes are fast-paced and challenging, it allows each dancer to emphasize their creative rhythmic talents.

Hip-Hop choreography at Backstage Dance Connection is kept to a policy standard that assures conservative movement that is appropriate to all audiences.

All movement will be modest and age appropriate and all music will be free of questionable lyrics. Hip-Hop is a fast-paced class focused on body isolations, popping, locking, break dance style floor work. Self-confidence, swag/attitude, and musicality are a main focus.
