Styles we offer

Hip Hop

Hip Hop the culture that gave us this dance. Hip Hop is a freestyle dance and social dance that evolved after breaking- the change of dancing "at" each other to dancing "with" each other. 

House

House dance is a social dance and Street dance primarily danced to house music, that has roots in the clubs of Chicago and of New York. House Dance is an amalgamation of the post-disco era. The major source in house dance movement stems directly from the music and the elements within the music such as African, jazz, hip hop, latin, soul, R&B and Funk. 

Litefeet

Litefeet also referred to as "getting lite" is a type of street dance / vernacular dance that emerged from Harlem, New York in the early 2000s. 

Breaking

Breaking, also called b-boying/b-girling, is the original style of Hip Hop from the South Bronx NYC. While diverse in the amount of variation available in the dance, breaking mainly consists of four kinds of movement: 

toprock, downrock, 

power moves and freezes. Breaking is typically set to songs containing drum breaks, especially in hip-hop, funk, soul  and breakbeat music. 

Popping

The dance is rooted through the rhythms of live funk music, and is based on the technique of Boogaloo's posing approach, quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk or can be a sudden stop in the dancer's body, referred to as a pose, pop or a hit. This is done continuously to the rhythm of a song in combination with various movements and poses. It was popularized by a Fresno & Long Beach-based dance group called the Electric Boogaloos that mixed popping techniques to boogaloo.

Waacking

Waacking  is underground Latino and African-American dance style that originated in the American underground gay-disco scene of the early 1970s.

Locking

 Locking is one of the Funk Styles like Popping that originated on the west coast USA. The name is based on the concept of locking movements, which basically means freezing from a fast movement and "locking" in a certain position, holding that position for a short while and then continuing at the same speed as before. It relies on fast and distinct arm and hand movements combined with more relaxed hips and legs. The movements are generally large and exaggerated, and often very rhythmic and tightly synced with the music.

Ballet

is a type of performance dance that originated during the Italian Renaissance in the fifteenth century and later developed into a concert dance form in France and Russia. It has since become a widespread, highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary based on French terminology.

Jazz

Jazz dance is a performance dance technique and style that first emerged in the United States in the early twentieth century. Jazz dance may refer to vernacular jazz or to Broadway or theatrical jazz. Both genres build on African American vernacular styles of dancing that emerged with jazz music.

Tap

Tap dance is a type of dance characterised by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. The sound is made by shoes that have a metal "tap" on the heel and toe. Tap dance originated in the United States in the early 19th century at the crossroads of African and Irish American dance forms. When slave owners took away traditional African percussion instruments, slaves turned to percussive dancing to express themselves and retain their cultural identities.
