This beginning, repeatable course covers the basics in 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 combination's will be kept simple, with the stress on clean technique and repetitions. Students will start slowly and then progress to faster and 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. Students will have the opportunity to participate in an end of the year concert at FCC in April. This performance involves in-class rehearsal of choreography, one hour of technical rehearsal after school and approximately one hour for the performance.
