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. It’s the perfect opportunity to push boundaries, try new things, and showcase individuality in every move!

Strength and Conditioning Class Description:

A Strength and Conditioning class is designed to improve overall physical fitness through a combination of strength training, endurance exercises, and functional movements. Whether you're an athlete looking to enhance performance or a beginner aiming to build strength and improve general fitness, these classes are structured to help individuals increase power, speed, endurance, and overall body conditioning. The focus is on developing a balanced, well-rounded level of fitness while minimizing the risk of injury.

Class Overview:
Strength and Conditioning classes combine various exercise techniques, focusing on strength, stamina, agility, and mobility. These classes typically involve a mix of weight training, bodyweight exercises, plyometrics, and cardio, and are tailored to suit all fitness levels, from beginners to advanced athletes. Each class is structured to build muscle strength, cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility, all while improving performance and athleticism.

What You’ll Learn:
Strength Training:

Resistance Training: Learn the fundamentals of weightlifting, including exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and rows, to develop maximal strength.
Bodyweight Exercises: Training with exercises like push-ups, lunges, planks, and burpees to build functional strength without equipment.
Progressive Overload: The principle of gradually increasing the weight, reps, or sets to continuously challenge your muscles and promote growth and endurance.
Conditioning and Endurance:

Cardiovascular Training: High-intensity interval training (HIIT), circuit training, and endurance drills that focus on building stamina and improving heart and lung function.
Plyometrics: Jump training and explosive movements (such as box jumps, sprints, and burpees) to enhance speed, power, and agility.
Aerobic Conditioning: Longer, sustained activities like running, rowing, or cycling to build endurance and burn fat.
Functional Movements:

Exercises that mimic everyday activities and sports movements, such as lifting, carrying, and pushing. This helps improve flexibility, mobility, and overall body coordination.
Core Training: Strengthening the core muscles (abdominals, back, and pelvic muscles) to support posture and stability, which is critical for both injury prevention and optimal athletic performance.
Mobility and Flexibility:

Incorporating dynamic stretching, foam rolling, and mobility drills to enhance range of motion and reduce the risk of injury.
Active Recovery: Learning proper cooldown techniques, including stretching and mobility work, to aid muscle recovery and improve flexibility.
Agility and Speed:

Drills designed to improve quickness, reaction time, and overall agility. This includes ladder drills, cone drills, and shuttle runs.
Speed Training: Developing acceleration, deceleration, and sprinting mechanics to boost athletic performance.
Nutrition and Recovery:

Education on fueling the body for optimal performance and recovery, including macronutrients, hydration, and meal timing.
Rest and Recovery: Understanding the importance of rest, sleep, and stretching in a fitness regimen to allow muscles to repair and grow stronger.
Injury Prevention:

Proper warm-up and cool-down techniques to reduce the risk of injury.
Education on good form, posture, and lifting techniques to prevent overuse injuries and improve long-term performance.
Class Format:
Warm-Up:

Dynamic stretching, mobility exercises, and light cardio to prepare the body for physical activity and prevent injuries.
Main Workout:

The core of the class typically involves a combination of strength exercises, conditioning drills, and functional movements. For example, this could include a circuit of squats, lunges, push-ups, jumping jacks, and kettlebell swings. The instructor will guide participants through each exercise, ensuring proper form and technique.
Circuit Training: A series of exercises performed in succession, targeting different muscle groups, with short rest periods between sets to maintain an elevated heart rate.
Strength Blocks: Focus on lifting heavy weights or performing high-intensity exercises for strength development, with sufficient rest between sets to maximize power output.
Cool-Down:

Stretching, foam rolling, and light recovery exercises to help bring the heart rate down and enhance flexibility.
Group Motivation and Support:

Working out in a group environment provides accountability, encouragement, and motivation. Many classes foster a sense of community and camaraderie, which helps keep participants engaged and focused on their fitness goals.
Benefits of Strength and Conditioning Classes:
Increased Strength: Building both muscular and skeletal strength through a well-balanced strength training regimen.
Improved Cardiovascular Fitness: Boosting endurance and stamina through high-intensity workouts that strengthen the heart and lungs.
Enhanced Flexibility and Mobility: Increasing the range of motion and improving functional movement patterns, which are crucial for daily life and sports performance.
Better Performance: Whether you’re an athlete or just looking to enhance overall fitness, these classes improve agility, speed, and power, making you stronger and more capable in various physical activities.
Injury Prevention: Strengthening muscles and improving flexibility helps protect against common injuries related to both everyday tasks and sports activities.
Weight Management: The combination of strength training and high-intensity conditioning helps increase metabolism, burn fat, and promote lean muscle mass.
Confidence and Mental Toughness: Regular participation can boost self-confidence, help set and achieve fitness goals, and develop mental resilience.

Cardio Equipment: Treadmills, rowing machines, bikes, or jump ropes for conditioning drills.
