HIP HOP
A class most kids love, incorporating todays most popular music for warmups, across the floor and combinations. Some Jazz is incorporated along with some of todays dance styles of locking, popping and street jazz. Hip hop while still having certain technique is a much looser body movement.
CONTEMPORARY/LYRICAL Contemporary dance involves incorporating aspects of movement from several other genres such as jazz, modern and ballet. Usually telling a story in the movements. It is one of the most competitive styles as of recent years. While there is technique it is also very free with the movement.
