STREET DANCEBreakdancing, popping/locking and krumping are some of the different styles of hip-hop that’s been a part of our history and culture since the early 1970s. These unique styles of dance continue to teach our youth the freedom of self-expression through music. Here you will learn the fundamentals of these styles and also the history where it all started. You will learn how to work as a team while also learning to be independent. The best thing about hip-hop is that everyone who wants to dance but may not feel like they can’t, denitely can. In fact, anyone can dance, you just have to nd the right beat/style that ts you and hip-hop can be that for you! The dancers will perform a showcase during the last class of each session.
