Hip-hop dance is one of the most popular, energetic, and self-expressive dance styles in the world — and it's one of the most requested classes at Moves Dance Studio in Wheaton, IL. Our hip-hop classes are open to boys and girls of all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced dancers.
Classes are rooted in authentic street dance traditions — breaking, popping, locking, and urban choreography — while teaching musicality, rhythm, and performance skills in a fun, high-energy environment.
Hip-Hop Skills & Techniques
Urban Choreography
Learn full-length hip-hop routines set to current music. Students perform their choreography at our annual spring recital.
Popping & Locking
Foundational street dance techniques — isolations, waves, and sharp accents that form the core vocabulary of hip-hop.
Musicality & Rhythm
Develop a deep feel for rhythm, timing, and how to let the music move through your body — a skill that transfers to every dance style.
Freestyle & Confidence
We encourage students to find their own voice and style. Freestyle exercises build the confidence to perform and improvise with authenticity.
Hip-Hop for All Ages & Levels
Hip-Hop Minis (Ages 4–6)
An age-appropriate intro to hip-hop movement for our youngest dancers. Simple rhythms, fun choreography, and a big confidence boost.
Hip-Hop I (Ages 7+, Beginner)
Perfect for first-time hip-hop students. We start from the very basics — no prior dance experience needed. Great for both boys and girls.

Progressive levels for students who have moved past the basics. More complex choreography, freestyle, and advanced urban movement.

Students learn authentic street dance techniques while developing the discipline and stage confidence that come from quality dance training. Hip-hop is one of our most popular classes, and it's easy to see why: kids and teens leave every class energized, smiling, and ready to practice at home.

Hip-Hop Class FAQs
Hip-hop is one of the best classes for boys. It's rooted in street culture, demands athleticism and coordination, and is a natural fit. We have many boys in our hip-hop classes, and our instructors love teaching it to them.
Hip-hop attire is a t-shirt or tank top with comfortable, loose-fitting pants or shorts. Clean sneakers (not worn outdoors) are required — no ballet shoes or bare feet. For your trial week, any athletic wear and clean sneakers work great.
No experience needed at all. Hip-Hop I is designed for complete beginners and we teach rhythm and movement from scratch. Many students who think they have no rhythm discover they absolutely do — it just needed to be unlocked!
