Our experienced instructors will guide you through each step and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to practise and perfect your moves.
We dance to a variety of up-tempo hip hop music, including R&B, funk, and contemporary hip hop tracks. Our music selection is carefully curated to keep you motivated and inspired on the dance floor. If you would like a little sampler of the type of music we listen to here is a link to some of our favourite Spotify playlists!
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely, such as activewear or comfortable dancewear. Avoid wearing clothing that is too loose or baggy as this can interfere with your movement.
You don’t need to buy special shoes for Hip Hop classes, but sneakers with good support and a non-slip sole are recommended. This will help protect your feet and prevent injury during the fast-paced movements of hip hop.
