How is this different from Hip Hop Dance: Movements for Freestyle & Choreography ( Level 1)?

Do I have to do the warm-up?
The dance warm is mostly the same each week. It is recommended that students don't skip the warm up as these moves help increase endurance and flexibility. Some of the dance moves are exhausting or are easier with some basic flexibility.

Is this a dance workout? Can I loose weight?
This is not a dance workout. Dance commentary is included in most of the videos as well as movement tips. General increased physical movement may lead to weight loss (calorie burning) or weight gain (building muscles), but this video is not recommended as a weight management tool.

What if I can't dance or have no rhythm?
Students are welcome to post videos on the class page for teacher feedback/ support. Everyone moves differently and everyone can dance. People who "have no rhythm" usually just struggle to hear the instruments in the music. If it feels right then there's a 90% chance it looks right. A small 10% of moves just need to be slowed down or sped up to make them look fabulous. When it comes to dance, the best dancers are the confident dancers. No crazy flexibility or strength required.


What if don't have dance experience?
Never, fear! Ms. Rae has seen professional ballet dancers, jazz dancers, and even tap dancers struggle when it comes to dancing socially. You don't have to have dance experience to enjoy this course. This course is designed with the beginner dancer in mind, but even if you have a ton of experience chances are you'll find moves and variations that you haven't tried before.


Is this like TikTok?
Nope. You’ll learn real dance moves. Not a90 second performances! That could TikTok or YouTube routine is great for impressing friends to one song, but what about the rest of the party? Fun fact, as popular as Breakdancing (Breakin’) was back in the 80’s, dancers quickly realized that stopping a party to have everyone watch them (sometimes accidentally, kicking friends in the process), wasn’t a great way to make new friends.
