Unlike choreography-focused dance classes often associated with the term “hip-hop,” this beginner-friendly session introduces breaking as a cultural, groove-based, and improvisational dance form. Participants will learn how bounce, rhythm, and musical connection serve as the foundation for movement and self-expression.
