Class Description

This Hip Hop class focuses on musicality, dynamics, movement qualities, expression, and choreography. Together we create choreographies that challenge both technique and precision, while encouraging individuality and personal style. Freestyle sessions are also an essential part of the class, offering space to explore your own movement language and bring your personality into Hip Hop. The aim is not only to train skills, but to experience Hip Hop as a form of creative expression that makes every dancer unique.
