Hip-Hop You Don’t Stop

Hip-Hop for Nightclub Dancing

Blame the DJ. The booze. Your lame partner. But you may as well face the truth: On the scale of legendarily terrible dancers, you’re somewhere between Steve Urkel and Elaine Benes.

Thankfully there’s help from Amina’s Dance School, which now offers Hip-Hop for Nightclub Dancing.

Don’t worry if you lack rhythm or know-how — the classes are totally laid back and open to beginners and experienced dancers alike.

The lessons aim to help you with everything from building confidence to developing technique, with sessions on choreography, skills (popping and locking), and free-style movement (C-walking). Plus there are optional outings to actual nightclubs so you can practice your new moves with a coach on hand for moral (and technical) support.

There are only twelve spots per class, so you’ll get plenty of attention.

The good kind, for a change.
