Active Kids: Hip Hop / 5-12 yrs / Lyons Park

Next date: Wednesday, 09 July 2025 | 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM

Let the music take control! Creativity is the name of the game in Hip Hop, so if you love to dance, and love to create your own dance moves, then this is the class for you! Dancekool will be working with our dancers to increase their confidence to freestyle, improvise and bust a move all the way to Hip Hop stardom.

What is Hip Hop?

Hip Hop has deep roots in African American culture and was popularised in the 1970s by African American communities in New York. Hip hop is free and creative, allowing dancers to let loose and focus on self-expression rather than technique. Because hip hop music is mostly upbeat, this creative style is a really energetic and a lot of fun for kids.
