Hip-Hop for 'Tweens : CANCELLED
GRADES 5-8: Mondays • 3:15-4:15 pm • Sheriefs Gamble • $125/12 wks. • Limit: 18 • Chase Dance Studio, first floor

The world of hip-hop dance is exciting, athletic, and FUN! This high-energy class builds stamina and introduces students to the moves their favorite artists perform on TV. Strength-training warm-ups promote healthy habits and an understanding of the body's abilities, while hip choreography set to music they groove to on their iPods makes pre-teens more confident and excited about dance. Music and moves are kept appropriate, and students share their cool new moves with family and friends at semester's end.


Hip-Hop I (FULL) & II
TEENS & ADULTS: LEVEL I: Mondays from 4:15-5:45 pm • LEVEL II: Tuesdays from 4:30-6 pm • Lois Trombley • $235/15 wks. • Limit: 18 • Chase Dance Studio, first floor

Dance to the latest hip-hop sounds as you learn moves used by artists in the hip-hop industry and in MTV music videos. Both classes incorporate warm-ups designed to provide strength, flexibility, and conditioning—preparing students for this energetic and constantly evolving dance style. Students in Level II will explore more complex combinations and choreography.


Especially welcoming to adults new to the art form.

The Flynn’s dance program instills a lifelong love of dance, helping veteran dancers and first-timers alike experience the power of their bodies as expressive instruments and discover their unique movement capabilities. Classes cover a breadth of styles, teaching technique while helping students trust their own instincts—instilling confidence and a sense of accomplishment. Classes focus on process rather than product, but a year-end optional performance satisfies dancers’ desire to share their growth and hard work with family and friends. Our program is enhanced by connections to the world-class artists who perform on the Flynn MainStage and share their dance styles and ideas with FlynnArts students in masterclass settings. Drop-in students are permitted in teen/adult classes on a space-available basis for $16 per class. However, most classes fill up quickly with registered students, leaving no room for drop-ins. It is wise to secure a space in class by registering for the full semester.
