Introduction
At Footloose you can follow lessons in hiphop given by a professional teacher. In hiphop 1 you do not need any previous experience, as the basics will be taught to you. When you have some experience in hiphop, you can follow our hiphop 2 course, where the tempo is higher and the steps are getting more advanced. Hiphop 3 requires a lot of experience. For the people who want to do more performances, we have also a hiphop demo team. Hiphop is an individual dance, so you do not need a dance partner to participate.
For the demo team, we have the Hip-Hop demo team regulation. Please read this carefully before you enter the demo team course!
The dance style
Hip Hop dance style originated as part of the whole Hip Hop culture that started in the early 70s in New York. Originally it started with break dancing and with a different type of Hip Hop music, it branched out with a more social or party dance including moves as the Running Man and the Happy feet. As of now 'Hip Hop' classes often have a mix of all kinds of styles depending on the background of the teacher. Our Hip Hop teacher teaches choreographies, with movements and techniques that can be traced to Hip Hop and street styles.
