beg./int. Hip hop with Jordan Sweeney

monday 7:30-9:00pm

A modern take on hip hop with hard hitting and smooth choreography, including grooves and foundational hip hop steps. Recommended for dancers who love contemporary, and those who love to express themselves through movement.

Beginner: This class is designed for novice dancers or students who have not danced for many years. We will continue to emphasize proper posture, muscle development, flexibility, musicality, and grace of movement through beginner level combinations. Students are expected to know basic dance vocabulary and have a desire to improve their strength and technique.

Intermediate: Dancers with previous training will enjoy the transition into an intermediate level class. Students will progress at a quick yet comfortable pace while increasing strength and flexibility. Movement combinations are layered with multiple steps to refine and advance your dance technique on a pre-professional level.
