About Hip Hop

Hip Hop dance is a vibrant, expressive street dance style born from the cultural movement that emerged in the South Bronx, New York in the 1970s. Deeply rooted in African American and Latino communities, Hip Hop encompasses breaking, locking, popping, krumping, and contemporary choreography — each with its own history, technique, and dedicated community. Known for its freestyle roots, infectious energy, creative individuality, and community-driven spirit, Hip Hop has grown into one of the most globally popular dance genres, performed in music videos, competitive stages, Broadway productions, and studios worldwide. Classes are available for all ages from toddler programs through adult classes at studios across the United States. No prior experience is needed — every class welcomes beginners alongside those developing their technique and personal style. Browse Hip Hop dance studios in your city, take your first class, and join a tradition that has shaped global culture for five decades.
