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

When and how much

Hip Hop (beginner level)

Thursdays, 6:00 to 7:00 pm. Ages 9+. $85 per month + tax. A welcoming weekly class for dancers who want to keep building their skills.

New in January: a class for ages 6 to 9, Thursdays 4:45 to 5:45 pm, January to May, $85 per month + tax.

No experience needed

Hip Hop at SMASH is a beginner class, so nobody needs to walk in knowing the moves. It's a fun, upbeat space where dancers can try something new, make friends and build confidence, all without the pressure of competition. It's also a great way for our musical theatre performers to add a new style before their next show.

Classes take place at SMASH Performing Arts Studio, #5 3033 King George Blvd in South Surrey, close to White Rock, Morgan Crossing and Grandview Heights. Explore all of our dance classes.
