Little Inspiration Levels & Progression
Primary Level Jazz
Primary Hip Hop teaches dancers the foundational moves of hip hop, such as simple isolations, grooves, and basic footwork. In this class, students learn to dance to the beat of contemporary music, while developing their coordination and confidence. Freestyle and structured dance combinations help students express themselves and discover their own style in a positive, engaging atmosphere.
How Primary Level Hip Hop Works
Primary Hip Hop introduces young dancers to the basics of rhythm, style, and movement in the hip hop genre. The class focuses on simple hip hop steps and sequences, such as isolations, grooves, and basic footwork. Through a combination of freestyle and structured choreography, students will learn to move to the beat and express their individuality. Instructors emphasize musicality, coordination, and creative self-expression, helping dancers gain confidence in a supportive and energetic environment.
Duration & Class Size
Primary Level Classes are typically 45 minutes long with a class size no larger than 12-15 students
Progression from Primary Level Hip Hop to Hip Hop Level 1
Students typically remain in Primary Hip Hop for 1-2 years, depending on their individual development and ability to master basic hip hop techniques. Progression is determined during R.I.S.E. Week, where instructors evaluate each dancer's skills, including musicality, rhythm, and their ability to follow choreographed movements. After completing this level, dancers will move on to Hip Hop Level 1, based on the instructor’s recommendation.
