What will you cover

Discover the heartbeat of urban culture in our Hip-Hop Dance – Beginners course at City Academy! Across six dynamic sessions, you’ll:

  • Unlock Fundamental Moves - Learn classic hip-hop steps—grooves, isolations, and foundational footwork—that form the building blocks of street and commercial styles.
  • Find Your Groove - Develop musicality and timing with exercises designed to help you feel and respond to the beat, from slow jams to upbeat tracks.
  • Explore Styling & Attitude - Add personality to every move with posture, body rolls, and freestyle elements that give your performance edge.
  • Build Confidence & Stamina - Progress at your own pace in a supportive setting, improving strength, coordination, and stage presence with each class.
  • Connect & Create - Collaborate in small groups to craft a short choreography, then showcase your routine in a final “cypher”-style performance.

Totally Beginner-Friendly

We break every move down slowly, so even if you’ve never danced before, you’ll pick it up with ease.

Unfortunately, make-up sessions are not available. However, if you inform Student Services in advance, they can provide any relevant homework or materials to keep you up to date.

No Venue

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
