Clean sneakers (sneakers that have not been worn outside) that can tie or velcro are required for hip-hop classes. Slip on shoes of any kind (Hey Dudes, Crocs, Vans, etc.) are not acceptable. Comfortable, movable clothing is best for hip-hop but dancewear and athletic wear are fine. Please do not wear jeans or loose jewelry.
Hip Hop dance originated as a freestyle dance, using the entire body to fast paced hip-hop music and incorporating all genres of street dance to create a cultural art piece. Today, elements of tap, acrobats, jazz, and ballet is also incorporated into the style. Many of today's popular artists use hip-hop dancing for their back-up dancers or for their music videos and tours.
