Hip Hop

Hip Hop dance classes in downtown Halifax

A social/party style incorporating foundational grooves, old and new school movements, and the greater hip hop culture of the 1970s.

About the style

Hip hop is a social, party-rooted style built on foundational grooves, old and new school movements, and the wider hip hop culture born in the Bronx in the 1970s. It is one of the most welcoming ways into dance, built on grooves anyone can learn.

Every class starts with a warm up, usually with some grooves built in. In choreography classes, foundations like bounces, rocks, and party moves then build into a combo with your instructor's flavour. Expect great music, good energy, and lots of freedom to make the movement your own.

What to bring

  • Comfortable, breathable clothing with optional layers for warm-up.
  • Clean, indoor sneakers.
  • Refillable water bottle.
  • Small sweat towel, if desired.

Good to know

Must be 18+ (or 14+ with parental consent) to attend. Please ensure your date of birth is updated on your profile to sign up.
