Here at UCL we have Hip hop classes in two levels; beginner and advanced, taught by our fabulous teacher Shanise. You can find out more about our teachers here.
Beginner Hip-Hop runs on Tuesday 6 - 7 and advanced is from 7 - 8, with classes held on the main campus.
You're welcome to come along to either class, or both if you're not sure which would suit you best!

About Hip hop
You may have heard of the term “hip-hop” in various contexts, with all roads leading back to its connections to hip-hop culture. However, even within a dance context, the complex term carries more than just a singular definition.
Hip-hop has been a popular, mainstream style of dance since the late 1980s. While technically a type of Street dance, UCL’s Hip-hop is usually distinguished from the Commercial Street style. In that sense, Hip-hop is also closely associated with breaking, locking, popping, urban, jazz funk and other specialized forms of dance. Fun fact, freestyling and dance battles are both products of Hip-hop culture! While it’s difficult to dilute a dance style into one universal definition, Hip-hop choreographers/dancers tend to incorporate hard-hitting moves that tend to match the distinct rhythm, melody and texture of their music.
