Hip Hop Basics

Workshop with Ruby

Here, different urban styles merge to form a homogeneous whole. Whether hip hop, street dance, dancehall, reggaeton, Latin pop or even jazz – there's something for everyone here! Powerful, dynamic and rhythmic movements characterise the sophisticated choreography, which is tailored to commercial music. Group dynamics, expression and personality are the focus of the performance, which is designed for the audience.
