Funkmode Hip Hop Dance Studio

It's a Hip Hop class, PLUS+ a splash of music and dance styles related to Hip Hop when we feel like branching out. So, one week you could be dancing to a certified Bay Area Hip Hop track from E-40 and then next you might be shuffling to an EDM banger from Tiesto. Whatever the sound and style, the thing that won't change is our welcoming atmosphere, excellent instruction and commitment to making sure you have fun from beat one to beat done.

Pretty tough to find an actual adult Jazz class in the East Bay, right? We know, we tried. So we stopped trying and made one. And, we flipped the script on the old school way of teaching Jazz to provide a more contemporary approach to this classic style. Throughout each session, we bring you HOT new music, every different style of Jazz (e.g. Lyrical, Musical Theater), and new dances to keep you excited and working hard. We begin each class with fundamental work such as deep stretching, and across-the-floors (focusing on leaps, turns, balance and form) and then we continue on into center work and choreography. This is a fun, student-focused development class where NO ONE gets left behind and EVERYONE is challenged according to their ability.

Let's face it, learning to move confidently in heels is a skill in itself. In this class, we will explore how to accentuate your body's natural lines and curves through drills and choreography while building the foundation for ankle strength and stability. We recommend a flexible and supportive shoe with a heel no higher than 5 inches max. Booties or ankle straps are ideal. Email info@funkmode.com for shoe questions.

Our students know we some sneaky little fitness ninjas who use dance as one of our main weapons. That's why we created MOVE!

It's also light on boring and heavy on fun. So, if you wanna burn calories and have a great time doing it ... MOVE!

Left cheek, right cheek! It's time to learn how to work those assets. According to the bible that is Urban Dictionary, "Twerk" is a verb meaning, "the rhythmic gyrating of the lower fleshy extremities in a lascivious manner." That sounds pretty accurate! Own your body and learn how to pop, shake, wiggle, and drop through a booty based warm-up, a breakdown of individual gluteal and hip movements, and hot choreography to get your heart pumping and your backside jumping. No experience necessary but kneepads required.
