In this class students will learn beginner/intermediate hip hop choreography to their favorite kids bop songs. I will begin my dance class by greeting the students and allowing each one to introduce themselves, and then I will explain what style of dance I’ll be teaching and what song they’ll be dancing to. Then I’ll take them through a stretch and warmup to get the muscles ready to move. Once I begin teaching, I’ll break down the dance into sections and eight counts. I'll also break down each move and explain how they work within your body. I’ll teach each section without music first. Once the students feel comfortable I’ll play the music and they will be able to test out the choreo. I will also allow any questions to be answered after teaching each section that way they feel confident before moving on, and, I will give the students feedback. Once I complete the dance, we will continue to go over it with music! I’ll even allow students to perform the dance by themselves or in groups if they feel comfortable. And last but not least, I will allow a short Q&A session to answer any other questions they have. No dance experience is needed but it does help if they have 1 or 2 years of dance training. This class is designed for kids to learn a fun dance routine and get a good workout in 45 minutes.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi my name is Kristen Schalk. :) I teach Beginner and Intermediate Hip Hop Dance classes and Tik Tok tutorial classes.
I've been dancing since I was seven years old at various dance studios in the Charlotte NC area. Ive trained in all styles of dance. When I was sixteen years old I began teaching at the studio I was dancing at during that time called Fuzion Force Entertainment Academy. I taught kids, teens, and adults hiphop, jazz funk, and contemporary choreography. Being at Fuzion Force, I was able to take classes and go to multiple dance conventions where I trained with Industry working choreographers from LA and Atlanta. I also attended UNCC where I was a dance major and continued my training in multiple styles of dance. I grew to have such a passion for dance that I moved out to LA to continue to pursue my professional career as a dancer and choreographer. Now I have been blessed to be able to work with various music artists for their music videos, live stage performances and Tik Tok promos.
