This 3-week virtual workshop focuses on your entire Hip Hop program. Previous webinars have covered dance techniques and vocabulary with a focus on general lessons. This webinar will concentrate on dividing these lessons into their respective levels. Each week, we'll be laser focused on one skill level at a time, as we explore the most important lessons for the given skill level, and how it will affect other levels in your program.

This is the course that will teach you the things I am doing in each level of my classes, and how to implement and connect them.


Week 1: Beginner Hip Hop
Date: Thursday, October 26th 2023 11:00 am - 12:30 pm Eastern Time
Running Time: 1.5 Hours
Genres: Hip Hop, Breaking

Content:
This class covers young/beginner classes and the introduction to Hip Hop. With a focus on the foundational steps of Hip Hop & Breaking, this class will be an overview of the primary steps to teach, as well as the activities being done to help this age group understand the material and prepare for intermediate level lessons.  Contrary to previous workshops, the technique and terminology delivered during this session will be taught in conjunction with full lessons so that teachers have full activities/games/lessons ready to deliver to their students.




Week 2: Intermediate Hip Hop
Date: Thursday, November 2nd, 2023 11:00 am - 1:00 pm Eastern Time
Running Time: 2 Hours
Genres: Hip Hop Part 2, Breaking Part 2, Introduction to Locking, Introduction to Popping

Content:
This class running time extends to 2 hours so that we may explore the continuation of Hip Hop & Breaking, as well as the introduction of Funk Styles(Locking & Popping). Participants will learn the class lessons that are feeding off of previous lessons in order to add layers to their  intermediate/pre-teen level class. The lessons and activities during this session serve to advance prior technique and show students how additional street dance genres compliment Hip Hop.




Week 3: Advanced Hip Hop
Date: Thursday, November 9th 2023 11:00 am - 1:00 pm Eastern Time
Running Time: 2 Hours
Genres: Advanced Hip Hop, Breaking Variations & Tricks, Level 2/3 Funk Styles

Content:
The final class is dedicated to delivering the "next level" of dance steps. These steps are designed to be easier for students(or teachers) to understand after having prior understanding of intermediate and beginner steps/grooves/techniques. This session will cover advanced movement and how to implement them in relation to previous lessons as you prepare your students for future opportunities. This class will cover exercises and lessons for developing a multi-layered performance, creativity exercises, and pre-professional development of essential skills for graduating dancers.


Looking Ahead
This 3 week course is going to lean heavily into physical demonstration and explanations for actual technique and class activities.  It will serve as a perfect preparation  for an upcoming 3 week course on curriculum development. Should you choose to take the curriculum development course, this entire run will serve as the primary content for the curriculum we design together! Please specify in your registration if you'd like to be notified when registration opens for that course!
