ABOUT THIS CLASS
This class will cover the fundamentals and basics of hip-hop and freestyle. It will be geared toward learning how to utilize foundational movements and how to move your body with rhythm and grooves. There will be basic choreography to help practice, so this class is for beginner and intermediate levels of experience. I also will be teaching some popping as well. However, this will come later in the time frame.
