Hip Hop, the New Revolution in Dance

In the summer of 1983, New York City was abuzz with a fad that would become an art form and a revolution in dance. Its name was Rap and it took America by storm. Today Rap is just one component of a larger pop culture called Hip Hop, a street world that embraces break dancing, attitude, baggy clothes, graffiti and its own "speak". DJs like DJ Blaze brought hip hop to the forefront in the early ’90s, culled from the cult classic Beat Street.

Contemporary and distinct, hip hop is high energy attitude on the dance floor. The Woodbridge School of Dance offers hip hop training to a strong beat, helping to build stamina, improve physical fitness and coordination. With its emphasis on body isolations, freestyle movement and rhythm, hip hop combines today’s best music with the movements of the hottest music videos. Students must attend an additional ballet and/or jazz class as a prerequisite to enrolment in hip hop.
