What Is Breakdance?
Breaking is the original hip-hop urban dance, influenced heavily from Latin/African dance styles, gymnastics, and martial arts. At our breakdance school, we will explore the entire vocabulary range of the dance, from “footwork” to “power moves” to “freezes.” Other common moves students learn include 6-step, 4-step, and top rock. The 6-step functions as a base that will, in turn, help students perform many other moves. Breakdance is a great way to help students learn more complicated movements, body contortion, and acrobatics, making it a fantastic way for your kids to stay in shape.
Breakdancing Classes at Dance Academy USA
At Dance Academy USA, our breakdance classes near San Jose are perfect for kids who have never danced and have little to no dance experience. We’ll take you through the history of breakdance, and teach students how to express themselves through breakdance. As one of the more dynamic and entertaining forms of dance, students need to come determined and focused…as well as ready to sweat a lot! But most importantly, kids will have a lot of fun learning new moves and techniques. While no previous skills are required, breakdance can be challenging and we recommend that all students come in with a can-do attitude—it will take you far!
Once they’ve mastered the basics, we’ll cover more complex moves such as freezes, popping, and locking. However, it’s important to make sure that dancers have the necessary leeway to discover their own unique style and skill and develop into their own unique dancer. With b-boy/b-girl battles, kids will have the creative space to show off their moves with confidence during freestyle. At Dance Academy USA, it’s our main focus to allow kids to express themselves stylishly and with flair, as well as gain confidence in themselves in a fun, unique method. That’s why our high-quality breakdance classes for kids have been popular for years in the San Jose area; why not see for yourself just how engaging they are?
