Teacher: Jo Richards
Inspired by dancers in music videos? Ever thought: “I’d love to dance like that!”? Well now is your chance.
This All Levels class will offer a fun, relaxed environment where we’ll learn elements of old and new school Hip Hop, Commercial, Jazz Funk, Reggaeton and much more!
Everyone will be encouraged to contribute their favourite song to the class playlist ensuring we all get the chance to get down to our fave jams! Some focus on technique with a side of choreography but a spotlight on having lots of fun and taking the opportunity to express our unique selves.

How to prepare
Wear comfortable clothing and footwear. Don’t forget your bottle of water!
As we move into the colder months of our changeable Scottish weather, please wear layers to the class to keep sufficiently warm during, as we are still continuing to ensure ventilation in our studios.
