Breakin' for Beginners

Is your kid is curious about "break dancing"? Whether your child has no experience breakin', has learned some moves from Rae's Kids Dance Jam, or just makes up their own moves at home, this class is designed to help kids build a breakin' foundation. Will explore a little of breakin' history and terminology while learning moves that can be combined in a variety of ways. We will not do back flips or spin on our heads. If your child has tons of breakin' experience then this class is not recommended. This class is best for beginners or those looking to work on their foundation. This class focuses on safety and execution instead of trying to out perform each other.

Each class starts with a warm up that helps improve strength and flexibility which is important for executing power moves & freezes.

This is not a "workout" to hip hop music. At times students may stop dancing to watch a video clip of a dance move, or engage in class discussion. In-class discussion allows participants to ask questions and contribute movement ideas. Participants will have the benefit of observing their peers. The teacher will guide participants through a choreographed routine and use student input to shape the routine. We offer a friendly environment for students of all abilities and all genders. Even if your child feels like they have no rhythm or 2 left feet, this class will empower them to find their own musicality. This class includes 25% discussion-based interaction with the teacher and peers. 

This class involves physical movement (all abilities are welcome). It is recommended for your child to have water nearby. Students should refrain from eating during class.

While student song requests are encouraged we are unable to play songs that contain profanity even if these songs are an important part of hip hop music history. This class contains a variety of break dance and hip hop music.
