A Hip Hop Dance Course for Beginners to Improvers 

 

Hip Hop dance is one of the most fun and expressive dance styles of the world. From the party dances, smooth grooves to body manipulation, there's something for everyone to enjoy within Hip Hop dance.

My name is Tiger, (yes that's my real name in case you're wondering :p) and I have been teaching and dancing Hip Hop dance for over a decade both in the UK and Internationally. I have and still work as a professional dancer and my love for dance in general stretches from London city to the moon!

I invite you to join my brand new 6 week Hip Hop dance course titled The Next Level.

What should you expect? A progressive course that will be based on the foundations of Hip Hop dance with a primary focus on developing you from a beginner to improver level at minimum. This means learning the next set of foundational concepts and techniques such as how to isolate and manipulate your body to the music creating cool effects and increasing your ability to be one with the music. Using specific techniques as a tool to achieve this.

We are all unique individuals, and therefore, we all move differently from each other. I know from experience in trying a multitude of different dance styles that Hip Hop dance is one of the best dances to not only dance to its music's namesake (of course!) but also to feel free in one's body.

Expect everything to be broken down to a level you can understand. After all, my job is to help you grasp the movements and techniques I present. In fact, I find immense joy in helping others realise that they can dance better than they imagined, or that a small tweak here and there can completely transform the move or step they're working on, making it look cooler and feel more comfortable.

 

I can't wait to share my knowledge with you!

Here are some student testimonials from the previous course:

 “Hey tiger, thank you because this course helped me to feel alive again after a while. It took a lot of time to look at myself in the mirror and regain confidence, but with all your positive words and attitude, you helped us and create magic in the room. Thank you 🙏🏻”

“By sharing so many different techniques and exploring how your body reacts to different movements, I feel like I have been able to be much more in control of my body and be present. It really helped me to further express myself”

“The course has covered such a range of techniques in a short span of time and has put me in touch with different ways of moving and feeling music. Really feel that I've developed more intentionality, connection and versatility with my movements!”

“I think this has been one of the most valuable lessons after a long time because it made me feel alive and passionate about something😇❤️”

Helping people achieve their dance goals is one of the things I live and breathe for 😊

Would love to see you on the course 🙏🏾😎
