Hip-Hop Program

At the Main Line Music and Dance studios in Ardmore and Springfield, our hip-hop teachers have a background in the “street” hip- hop style and the studio version. Our hip-hop dance classes are very high energy, creative and guaranteed to be a lot of fun. Hip-hop is an excellent choice of a dance class style for children and teenagers since it will channel their energy and let them dance to music that is popular in the youth culture. We use many different kinds of music in the class including hip-hop, house, club and R&B. All music utilized in both our Ardmore and Springfield dance locations is age appropriate and family friendly. Since hip-hop dance is about self-expression and developing personal style, you will have an opportunity to express yourself through improvisation and the creation of your own choreography.

About the Hip-Hop Style

Hip-Hop is a style of dance originally developed as part of hip-hop culture and originated in the form of street dancing in the 1970s-80s. It incorporates a wide variety of urban dance styles that include breaking, popping, locking and various funk styles. Another distinguishing factor of hip-hop dance is that it can often incorporate improvisation which is called “free-styling.” In the 1990s, the dance industry developed a new style of hip-hop dance that is often referred to as the “new style.” This is the style of dance that you may see in music videos from artists such as Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson or Beyoncé.

Hip-Hop (Ages 6-10)

This class is for dancers between the ages of six and ten that have no previous experience with hip-hop. It is an introduction to age appropriate hip hop dance and concentrates on the foundation of hip-hop, its basic movements, rules, terminology, choreography and culture.

Hip-Hop (Ages 11-16)

This is a hip-hop class for teens and more experienced dancers. The class will still focus on basic movements, terminology and choreography, but lends itself to the creation of your own choreography. Additionally, we will work with you on the improvisational aspects of hip-hop. All of our hip-hop classes incorporate stretching, isolations, footwork, body conditioning (to improve strength and flexibility), and across the floor exercises. Some movements that students may learn in our hip-hop program include chugs, back ball changes, isolations, grapevine, donkey kick, windmill, and pop and lock.
