In Junior Hip Hop 1-2, we celebrate and experience the energy, rhythm, joy, and spirit of hip-hop dance. The set warmup includes footwork, practicing rhythmic patterns, isolations, strength, and stretching. Across-the-floors are used for freestyle, structured improvisation, and practice of specific steps. Center combinations allow us to interpret different musical styles and practice longer movement sequences. We discuss the origins of hip-hop culture and dance, incorporating multiple original elements such as top rock, floor work, locking, house, and wave work. Individual expression is developed within the context of community through our groove and freestyle circles. We move together and have fun!
