Different types of hip hop dance classes

Hip hop dance classes for kids are offered in both the summer and the winter. Dance classes are also offered afterschool, on weekends, during March and winter break, on PA days, and during passover.

Kids’ hip hop is offered for beginner, intermediate, and advanced dancers. Sometimes these classes are offered as part of a school or program specializing in hip hop. Other classes are offered as part of a general dance program offering other kinds of dance, such as breakdancing, ballet, jazz, and ballroom.
