Hip Hop

A Step Above Dance & Music Academy offers many levels of Hip Hop which are based on age, technique ability, and the director's recommendation.  All of our hip hop classes are invited to perform in our annual Spring Performance.  Please contact our office to see which level will be best for you.

 

*We have now dropped our ballet requirement for students under the age of 9 for Hip Hop classes only.  Since hip hop really doesn't benefit from ballet training like other styles.
