Hip Hop Healthy / Hip Hop Science:

Hip-hop Healthy is a fun and exciting way to help your body be fit while you learn to dance! During this class, you will work with a professionally trained dance instructor, learning some basic hip hop steps and elements of choreography.

Hip-Hop Science provides students with a forum in which they will learn some basic scientific principles of motion.  Students will discover how to apply Newton’s Three Laws of Motion and Law of Gravitation to the Hip Hop dance form. Through experimentation and exploration of these principles, students will understand how forces affect the body in motion.  By using their own bodies to demonstrate concrete examples of scientific law, the concepts will become more relevant to them.  

Working together with the teacher, both programs provide students with a chance to choreograph a dance piece to rehearse and perform. During the classes, students will also learn about the history of hip hop dance and famous hip hop dancers. So if you love to move, and want to learn how to “wave”, “pop”, and perform other hip hop moves as a way to help keep your body healthy, this program is for you!
