New at SMASH: Hip Hop Classes for Young Dancers!
Get ready to groove! 🎶 SMASH has added something brand new to our dance lineup: Hip Hop classes for young dancers ages 9 and up.
Our Hip Hop class brings the energy of modern Broadway into the studio. Think of the sharp, rhythmic storytelling in shows like Hamilton, In the Heights and Six, and you'll have an idea of the style. Dancers learn to tell a story through movement, with choreography set to age-appropriate music from modern musicals.
What students will learn
- Rhythm: finding the beat and staying locked into it
- Street-style movement: grooves, hits and footwork with real attitude
- Coordination and stamina: high-energy classes that build strength and endurance
- Performance energy: selling every move with confidence and character
- Self-expression: finding their own style inside the choreography
