Class Descriptions
Hip Hop Kids Dance Fitness®
(1st - 5th Grade Elementary)
Where it all began!
In our original Hip Hop Kids Dance Fitness program for earlier elementary aged kiddos, we lead the kids through fun, easy to follow along dance fitness routines to hip hop and pop music, break down the steps to a new dance fitness routine each week, play dance games, and have plenty of time for FREE dance with scarves, hula hoops and more!
Available in-studio or at-schools!
Hip Hop Kids Dance Fitness®
TEENS / TWEENS Edition
(4th - 8th Grade)
Our Tween/Teen Edition of Hip Hop Kids Dance Fitness acknowledges this is a particular age in adolescence as a time where structured dancing is preferable to “free dancing” and we do our best to create a safe and respectful environment for these kiddos to MOVE their bodies and have FUN with no pressure! Classes include: easy to follow along dance fitness routines to hip hop and pop music, break down the steps to a dance fitness routine each week, and end the class with dance games/free movement time.
In-studio only!
GROOV3 is a non-stop choreo dance party for tweens and teens!
Kids learn cool new moves and a mini-routine every week in a positive, supportive environment. With kid-friendly music and easy-to-follow steps, everyone can join in — no dance experience needed! It's all about having fun, building confidence, and discovering the joy of hip-hop dance.
Please note this is not a traditional studio style dance class. The focus is not on performing, perfecting steps, nor technique. We are all about getting the kids enjoying simply MOVING their bodies for fitness and for fun!
How it all began
Hip Hop Kids Dance Fitness® was developed by owner/director Jessica Gleason. Jessica has been teaching dance and movement to kids and adults for more than 15 years. She started this program because of her passion to get kids dancing and enjoying just MOVING their bodies in in the moment; to dance without an end goal or product. Jessica is a mom of two boys and has first hand experience of the heartache and stress that is caused by the pressure put on kids these days to specialize in sports/dance, etc. so early in their lives. She has seen how quite often if these kids are coming “too late to the game” or seen as “lacking in natural talent,” or if they really love the activity but don’t want to eat, breathe and sleep it, they might be “cut” from the team/class, etc., often as early as the tween years! In light of this experience she felt compelled to create an inclusive space for ALL to come and enjoy dance and movement! Kids and adults too!
