This Hip-Hop class is designed for children heading to kindergarten or who are currently enrolled in kindergarten. It should be their progression from Pre-school Hip-hop to Hip-Hop Beginner. They will have a warmup section at the beginning of class and start to learn more techniques and choreography. As opposed to Pre-school Hip-hop where they were engaged with rhythm and learning coordination, in this class they will learn how to put it all together in a clear movement-based class.
