Hip Hop, Tricks & Contemporary Dance Intensive (Intermediate/Advanced) 9am-2pm: August 4th-7th
Our Hip Hop, Tricks, and Contemporary Dance Intensive is a high-energy and diverse program that focuses on three dynamic styles of dance—hip hop, tricks (acrobatic movements), and contemporary dance. This intensive is designed for intermediate and advanced level dancers who want to elevate their skills, master a range of techniques, and push their creative boundaries. The program will provide a deep dive into the technical aspects of each style, while also encouraging personal expression, athleticism, and artistry.
Camp Features:
1. Hip Hop Dance:
- Foundations of Hip Hop: Students will explore the roots of hip hop dance, learning foundational styles such as breaking, locking, popping, and krumping. Emphasis would be placed on rhythm, musicality, and individuality, allowing each dancer to develop their own unique style within hip hop.
- Urban Choreography: Dancers will also work on learning high-energy hip hop routines, incorporating street-style movement, isolation techniques, and intricate footwork. The choreography would be drawn from current trends and top hip hop music, with a focus on attitude and performance quality.
- Freestyle and Freestyle Battles: Hip hop is all about self-expression, so there will be plenty of time dedicated to freestyle dancing. Dancers will learn how to "battle" in a positive and supportive environment, showcasing their improvisation and creativity on the spot.
2. Tricks (Acrobatic Movement):
- Acrobatic Foundations: The trick portion of the intensive would teach basic acrobatic movements such as back handsprings, aerials, cartwheels, and flips. Emphasis would be placed on strength, flexibility, and coordination to safely execute these acrobatic moves.
- Trick Integration into Dance: The goal is to seamlessly blend tricks into dance routines, whether it’s adding a backflip into a hip hop routine or a controlled roll into a contemporary piece. This portion will help dancers learn how to combine power, agility, and fluidity.
- Strength & Conditioning: To perform tricks safely and effectively, dancers will participate in strength and conditioning exercises, focusing on building core stability, upper body strength, and flexibility to support acrobatic movements.
3. Contemporary Dance:
- Movement Flow and Expression: Contemporary dance focuses on blending techniques from ballet, modern, and jazz to create free-flowing, expressive movement. Dancers will learn how to convey emotion through movement while incorporating athleticism and flexibility.
- Contemporary Choreography: Campers will work on learning contemporary dance routines that are lyrical, creative, and often abstract, with an emphasis on connection to the music and emotional expression.
- Floor Work & Improvisation: Contemporary dance often includes elements of floor work, where dancers move smoothly from standing to the ground and back. This intensive will also include improvisational exercises, encouraging dancers to explore their own movement vocabulary and find freedom within the dance.
Camp Vibes:
The Hip Hop, Tricks, and Contemporary Dance Intensive will be a fast-paced and exhilarating experience, where dancers can refine their technical skills, learn new tricks, and express themselves creatively. With a combination of street-style energy, acrobatic feats, and emotional storytelling, dancers will leave the program not only with improved technical abilities but also with a deeper understanding of how to merge these dynamic styles.
Whether they’re looking to refine their hip hop skills, master flips and aerial tricks, or explore the artistry of contemporary dance, this intensive would be a challenging and rewarding experience for dancers. It’s the perfect opportunity to push boundaries, try new things, and showcase individuality in every move!

Hip Hop, Tricks & Contemporary Dance Intensive (Beginners) 9am-2pm: July 28th-31st
Our Hip Hop, Tricks, and Contemporary Dance Intensive is a high-energy and diverse program that focuses on three dynamic styles of dance—hip hop, tricks (acrobatic movements), and contemporary dance. This intensive is designed for beginner level dancers who want to elevate their skills, master a range of techniques, and push their creative boundaries. The program will provide a deep dive into the technical aspects of each style, while also encouraging personal expression, athleticism, and artistry.
Camp Features:
1. Hip Hop Dance:
- Foundations of Hip Hop: Students will explore the roots of hip hop dance, learning foundational styles such as breaking, locking, popping, and krumping. Emphasis would be placed on rhythm, musicality, and individuality, allowing each dancer to develop their own unique style within hip hop.
- Urban Choreography: Dancers will also work on learning high-energy hip hop routines, incorporating street-style movement, isolation techniques, and intricate footwork. The choreography would be drawn from current trends and top hip hop music, with a focus on attitude and performance quality.
- Freestyle and Freestyle Battles: Hip hop is all about self-expression, so there will be plenty of time dedicated to freestyle dancing. Dancers will learn how to "battle" in a positive and supportive environment, showcasing their improvisation and creativity on the spot.
2. Tricks (Acrobatic Movement):
- Acrobatic Foundations: The trick portion of the intensive would teach basic acrobatic movements such as back handsprings, aerials, cartwheels, and flips. Emphasis would be placed on strength, flexibility, and coordination to safely execute these acrobatic moves.
- Trick Integration into Dance: The goal is to seamlessly blend tricks into dance routines, whether it’s adding a backflip into a hip hop routine or a controlled roll into a contemporary piece. This portion will help dancers learn how to combine power, agility, and fluidity.
- Strength & Conditioning: To perform tricks safely and effectively, dancers will participate in strength and conditioning exercises, focusing on building core stability, upper body strength, and flexibility to support acrobatic movements.
3. Contemporary Dance:
- Movement Flow and Expression: Contemporary dance focuses on blending techniques from ballet, modern, and jazz to create free-flowing, expressive movement. Dancers will learn how to convey emotion through movement while incorporating athleticism and flexibility.
- Contemporary Choreography: Campers will work on learning contemporary dance routines that are lyrical, creative, and often abstract, with an emphasis on connection to the music and emotional expression.
- Floor Work & Improvisation: Contemporary dance often includes elements of floor work, where dancers move smoothly from standing to the ground and back. This intensive will also include improvisational exercises, encouraging dancers to explore their own movement vocabulary and find freedom within the dance.
Camp Vibes:
The Hip Hop, Tricks, and Contemporary Dance Intensive will be a fast-paced and exhilarating experience, where dancers can refine their technical skills, learn new tricks, and express themselves creatively. With a combination of street-style energy, acrobatic feats, and emotional storytelling, dancers will leave the program not only with improved technical abilities but also with a deeper understanding of how to merge these dynamic styles.
Whether they’re looking to refine their hip hop skills, master flips and aerial tricks, or explore the artistry of contemporary dance, this intensive would be a challenging and rewarding experience for dancers.
