Class Flow
---------------
1. Attendance, introduction to students and classmates.
2. Copy Me Based Warm Up
3. Moment to exchange dance questions, comments and moves.
4. Introduction/review steps in hip hop dance.
5. Repetition of steps for practice and muscle memory.
6. Choreography based on the technical hip hop combination to create a dance sentence (short dance).
7. Performance/show and tell.
8. Cool down.

Students will be introduced to hip hop terminology, educated on what it means and how to properly present it in the hip hop form. They will be asked to repeat the terms for proper articulation and then shown and guided through the presentation of each term.

Dance Combination Moves:
--------------------------------------------
This portion of the class combines the terminology and the dance moves to create dance sentences. Repetition of the dance moves will help their memorization (muscle memory); the major key to developing a dance. We will practice each term 2 to 3 times. (more if necessary).

Creative Movement
-----------------------------------------------------
Students will be encouraged to explore! They will be guided through movements such as "sway your arms like waves in the ocean" or asked to " make a usually small movement larger". This is the section that opens their minds and encourages them to do a little of their own choreography. 

Performance
---------------------
Students will get to share their creative movements and then "perform" together as a class.

There are no materials required for this class.

There is no time set aside for questions or comments, however, they are encouraged to speak up and are welcome to express their thoughts and ideas during class as each student can benefit from another. Students do not need to have any previous experiences or knowledge.
