Our classes reflect age, gender, racial and religious diversity and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We are building a community at RUD and we want to get to know you and your story.

People can surprise you. A white mom who can spin on her head. A b-boy who used to take ballet. At RUD we are unashamed of our dichotomy and we encourage our dancers to live authentically.

We respect one another. We love and respect the history of hip-hop. Our music selections and choreography also reflect respect to both men and women. We respect each individual’s personal struggles and strive to be a light of positivity amidst difficulty.

Giving back is at our core. We offer scholarships to dancers in need. We also participate in ongoing outreach efforts to serve our community.

Many institutions don’t consider street style as an art form. But we have seen far too many artists with raw talent come through our doors to buy that. At RUD we embrace hip hop is an art form.
