Beginner Hip Hop + Tap for 3- to 5-year-olds is a drop-off class that's a great introduction for new and returning students who love to dance! This program follows the combined structure of both a Hip Hop and Tap dance class, introducing young dancers to the basics of Hip Hop and Tap style while growing independence, self-expression and community. Over the course of the session, students will engage in social-emotional learning as they play in contemporary movement games; strengthen individual gross-motor skills; enhance memory function through group technical practice; reflect on dance connections and rhythm; self manage in improvisational activities; and activate free choice, self-expression and creative confidence. No special dress is required in this program, however students are encouraged to bring both gym and tap shoes as well as clothes they are comfortable moving in. Family and friends will be invited to celebrate their dancer's hard work in a final Showcase at the end of the session.
