We will help you improve your coordination and build confidence as we build community. In this welcoming environment, we will teach you the fundamentals of Hip Hop in a supportive and fun way. Let’s go!
This HipHop class will integrate party dances of the 80′s and 90′s to the present day, as well as choreography, across-the-floor grooves, and the latest dance moves that make this dance unique. It includes a wide range of styles and will be a funky GOOD TIME. Prepare to move and get groovy, and work your brain-body connection.

NO previous experience is needed, just the desire to learn and grow new neural pathways.
This class will spend time on the foundational moves of Hip Hop, and will build your confidence even if you are new to taking a class. If you know the basics, you will get variations to play with and added layers. We will add layers of speed and complexity as the weeks go by. Sammy will dive into the groove and help you feel it in your bones.
