Our seasons are broken up into semesters and sessions for the sake of planning, but participants can join anytime for all of our “open” classes and if there are still spots available, in our enrollment classes.

Our Winter/Spring Schedule begins January 6th. Our “open” classes run all year without interruption, with the exception of holidays (schedule subject to change). Our “enrollment” classes run through May 31st. Mommy and Me classes are broken up into 6 week sessions. Our Pre-K classes vary depending on how many weeks are in the semester. This semester is 20 weeks so we will be having a 10 week winter session and a 10 week spring session. To participate in the concert, dancers must be enrolled in the spring session. Mommy and Me classes will not participate in the concert. Our enrollment classes consist of our intro to hip hop, breaking and youth breaking. These classes build on the previous class, so dropping in is not ideal.

• Save the date for our iconic annual spring dance concert, Friday June 6th.

• Pre-registration for ALL types of classes is highly encouraged!! Why?

It helps our teachers prepare for class.

If we need to get a message to the class, you get it directly.

If we don’t have enough signed up in advance, we have to cancel.

If you are worried you may have to cancel, no worries. Just shoot us a message and we can credit you the class. No shows will get charged.

Class Descriptions:

ADVANCED HIP HOP

Advanced Hip Hop (11+) Advanced Hip Hop is a top-notch hip hop class for advanced levels, ages 11 to adult. Classes are fast-paced, challenging, and fun! It’s less of a technical class where foundations are laid, but with the same personal instruction. Master classes are designed to give you as much information and choreography out of an expert as you can obtain in one one-hour session. Come ready to work, be inspired, and featured in our videos. With new choreography taught at each class, you can be as committed as you want to be without falling behind. Levels vary, intensity does not! Ages 11+ 

INTERMEDIATE HIP HOP

Intermediate hip hop is a great middle ground between adult beginner and advanced hip hop. The choreography is more intricate than the beginner classes, but instructors take more time breaking them down than they do in the advanced classes. If you are looking for more challenging choreo but aren’t quite ready for the fast pace of an advanced class, then intermediate hip hop is for you!

INT/ADV HIP HOP

The level of difficulty is dependent on the teacher but will range between intermediate and advance. The style of choreo will vary and may be a hip hop fusion with other styles.

ADULT BEGINNER HIP HOP

Adult Beginner (16+) This is our revised adult beginner hip hop class. If you have taken one of these classes before, you may have been overwhelmed because it was more challenging than you anticipated. We’ve heard you and we are breaking things down even more giving you more technical instruction. In this class we will break down new moves each week, repeat them until you feel comfortable and then put them together in a short routine to one of your favorite (mostly old school) tunes. It’s a great time and a good workout too for your mind and your body! Our former “adult beginner hip hop class” will now be labeled “intermediate”Check it out! If you have always wanted to learn hip hop but didn’t want to be in a kids class, this is for you. It’s a drop in style class so no commitment is required! Come when you can! Leave feeling super fly!
