Hip Hop

Shaw Dance is one of Utah's top dance studios specializing in Hip Hop Dance. We offer many Hip Hop classes for ages 3 through college.  Professional hip hop dancers are in great demand in the dance industry and our dancers are training today for those opportunities.
SHAW Go Shaw!
Many of our Hip Hop classes are offered as recreation classes and they are a great addition to any dancer's schedule. Many of our Hip Hop dancers are already taking a ballet, jazz, or combination class and this is a great way for them to let loose and enjoy learning a different form of dance. New students are always welcome so call the office today if you think you might be interested in joining one of these classes!

Tuesday nights Shalese teaches our Hip Hop I and Hip Hop II classes. These classes are geared to ages 8 and up. These dancers are working hard on learning to count the music as well as some stalls and tricks. They are currently working on their Christmas recital routine and it is looking awesome! This is a fun class with a lot of energy and some pretty talented young dancers. We can't wait to showcase all that they have already learned.


Wednesday nights we are offering a FaNtAsTiC new program-our SUPERHEROES Boy's Hip Hop Class. Ages range from 3-6 years old and these boys are rocking out their skills! This is a fun class perfect for the energetic boy who loves to pretend to jump off of buildings and "save the day". Cheryl is teaching these boys some awesome tumbling skills as well as some slick movement and jumps.
What Superhero are you?






 

Also offered Wednesday evenings is our Hippity Hop class. This is our second year teaching this program at Shaw Dance and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular for our young dancers. Ages in this Hip Hop class range from 4-7 years old and it is open to both boys and girls. McKenzie has a deep passion for the art of Hip Hop and is thouroughally enjoying passing that passion onto these young dancers. They are absolutely darling and McKenzie is super excited to show at the Christmas recital how quickly they learn these new skills.

 

 
 
 
Finishing out our Wednesday schedule is our NEW Boys Break Dance class. This class is geared towards boys ages 8 and up. These boys are working on some amazing strength training and learning to do some cool stalls and tricks. Their instructor Nick is a great example to these boys. Parents have commented on how this class is working the boys' coordination and agility which is helping them in other sports they s are involved in too. Nick is stoked to show at the Christmas recital all of the things they have learned so far. 
 

All of our Showteam dancers are required to dance on a Hip Hop team. We have Dynamite Hip Hop, Jr. Showteam Hip Hop, Prodigy Hip Hop, Elite Hip  Hop, and Pro Hip Hop. Within these teams skills range from beginning to nearly professional. They are working hard on their first routine and it will be showcased at the Christmas recital.



Starting in January our Senior Danceline as well as Junior Danceline will start choreography on a Hip Hop routine to compete in the spring. Instructors are working hard on the perfect choreography at this time. Stay tuned for these amazing dances!

 

We are so proud of all of our Hip Hop dancers and couldn't be more pleased with their talent and hard work.
