dance class info
Hip Hop (play video)
Hiphop consists of four main elements; graffiti art, break dancing, DJ (cutting and scratching) and emceeing (Rapping). Never forget to mention the 2 main categories of hiphop- Old School and New School Hiphop. Old School consists of locking, popping, breaking and wave.
Contrary to Old School, New School Hiphop is unique on its own and usually goes hand in hand with slower pace songs. Hip hop is all about rhythm, groove and a whole lot of attitude!
L.A / Lyrical Hip Hop (play video)
Put a punctuation mark into Hip Hop!
Lyrical Hip Hop emphasizes on accents, punches and hits combined with milking techniques which brings out that extra flavor. This is a new school Hip Hop style incorporated with fast and sharp movements combined with milking techniques. Get trained in full body control.
Popping (play video)
Popping revolves around the technique of Hitting, which gives off an illusion of a jolting effect.
Throw in some rolls and moves like 'the Wave' and 'the Glide', and you'll be taken back to the funky Old School!
Locking (play video)
Locking is created by Don ‘Campbellock’ Campbell in the late 1960s during the soul/funk era. It was developed around the concept of a series of quick movements flowing into sudden stops and pauses. Locking is a funky-filled dance style which never fails to bring out the funk in your soul. So pull up your socks and get your groove on!
Reggae (play video)
Reggae is an African Caribbean style of music developed on the island of Jamaica. The word "reggae" was coined around 1960 to identify a "ragged" style of dance music. It soon acquired the lament-like style of chanting and emphasized the syncopated beat.
The essence of reggae lies in precise body isolations and percussive hip movements. Learn to dance reggae and explore the fundamental moves ie: swing it, bounce and butterfly. Get Ragged!
Waacking
Waacking focuses mainly on dynamic arms movements, extensions as well as various poses.
It is a dance style which was originated way back in the 1970s. However, it only gained its popularity only in the recent years.
Now, Waacking is not only danced to House music alone. Many people are Waacking to Hip Hop music as well as incorporating this dance style with other dance styles such as Locking, House and Hip Hop.
However, there is a misconception that Waacking is too feminine for men. That is not true. Add in your own flavour. This style is open for everyone!

The term "B-boy" or "B-boying" was created by Kool Herc who was a DJ spinning at block parties in the Bronx back in the days.

House
House music arose in the early 1980s upon the end of the disco era. It is called house dance because it was developed in the clubs rather than on the street. House dance takes from many different dance elements such as the Lindy era, African, Latin, Salsa, Brazilian, jazz, tap, capoeira, bebop, vogue, waacking, hustle and even modern. Most of the time it's danced to house or disco music. It includes a variety of techniques and sub-styles that include footwork (skating, stomping, and shuffling), jacking, and lofting.
