For the past 11 years, we have taught hip hop workshops in local elementary schools as well. Our faculty teaches each grade a dance routine for two weeks and finishes off the third week with a dance performance where families and the school faculty are invited to be entertained by the students. All of the students, families, and school faculty have given a lot of positive feedback and continue to ask for our services.
