Homework Offered

Students are welcome to bring hats, sunglasses, or even a toy to show off. None of this is required but many students enjoy showing their peers their cool "hip hop" look.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Physical Advisory: This class involves physical movement. Shoes are not required for class and are optional. If your child is dancing on a wooden floor shoes or bare feet may be ideal as children may slip when wearing just socks. If your child is dancing on a carpet, socks may be ideal as sliding will be easier. Ideally the dance space will be at least feet 3-4 feet wide and free of obstruction. Participants have been known to dance in living rooms, bedrooms, and any other space that allows arms to be extended out to the side. Periodically the teacher may present a short dance clip from YouTube to aide in broadening student understanding of what Hip Hop Dance or Choreography can look like. By registering for this class it is understood that each family has considered the space the child is moving in and it's appropriateness for a movement based activity. ***Camera must be on during class and students must dance on camera. The teacher must be able to see if students are moving safely. Students who refuse to keep their camera on, stay on camera while dancing, keep camera pointed at the ceiling, or keep lights off while dancing will receive 2 warning. No refund will be given for lack of participation or inability to follow safety guidelines.*** By registering for this class it is understood that the instructor is not responsible for injuries that may result from participation including injuries that may result from children not following directions. Injuries may include, bumps or bruises (example: a kid spins and falls down), fractures/ sprains/ broken limbs (example: a kid chooses not to follow instruction and tries to do a back flip). By registering for this class it is understood that each family has considered the physical health of their child and has taken into consideration any restrictions on movement that a family physician has advised. While most movement is not vigorous enough to upset an individuals asthma, we respect that each individual has different physical abilities. Children are encouraged to stop any movement that causes physical or emotional pain. If you are unsure whether your child will be able to fully participate physically you are welcome to email the instructor prior to registration. The instructor is not a physician and cannot give medical advice.
