This beginning, repeatable course is a fun and engaging way to get your body moving. It covers the basics of hip hop movement mechanics. Hip Hop I introduces students to hip hop history, culture, and various dance forms, while increasing their aptitude in technique, performance, and choreography. Beginning combinations will be kept simple, with the stress on clean technique and repetitions. Students will start slowly and then progress to faster and more varied tempos. Student projects will include a self-reflection and goal-setting quarterly assessment and dance critique. Physical daily participation is mandatory.

Additional Expectations:  Students in all courses will be graded daily on their physical participation in class.  Excessive absences will impact your grade in this course.
