What is hip hop dance?
Hip hop dance is a popular "street style" dance performed mostly to hip hop music, with rocking and bouncing movements choreographed to the rhythm of the music beats. Hip hop dance is a high energy style that involves elements of several dance styles, including African dance, ballet, and tap, but typically has a more free and flexible structure.
What should you wear to a hip hop dance class?
Most dance studios recommend you wear comfortable clothes and sneakers with non-marking soles to learn hip hop dance. If your studio doesn't specify the attire, workout clothes, like yoga pants or sweat pants and a t-shirt usually work well for a hip hop class. Wear closed toed shoes that are comfortable, supportive, and have grippy soles. Check with your dance studio for their specific clothing requirements.

Empowering lives through Dance I’ve thought about that line at the top of Anna’s page many times as she has enthusiastically corrected my attempts at dancing. It has been a life long desire for me to learn to dance, and I think I can say with some confidence that I have achieved toddler status. That is not to mock what Anna has accomplished, because thanks to her excellent teaching, I have accomplished a couple of things in addition to the basics. I had the joy of a choreographed dance with my daughter at her wedding, and I was able to go onto the dance floor after the ceremony and have a great time. In addition to that Anna challenged me to learn a choreographed dance routine that she created for a regional showcase. I had the privilege of dancing with her in front of a crowd, as did several other of my fellow students, and it was very challenging and rewarding. Anna seems tirelessly creative, and impossibly patient. I wanted to say thank you this holiday season for the way she has changed my life with dance, and came up with a simple acrostic that speaks to some of the tools she’s taught me on this journey.
Determination: when those feet just will not go where they're supposed to, relax and try again
Attitude: stay positive, have fun
Natural: Everyone learns at their own pace, be yourself
Confidence: Believe you can do this and hold that damn frame! Excellence: Always seek your very best, wherever it is that day.

I have been taking private salsa lessons with Dora for about 2 months. Prior to this, I had zero background with salsa, and had never tried it because I was a little self conscious about going out and taking a group class without any experience.
After two months with Dora, I feel confident that I could go in a group or social dance setting and look like I know what I am doing with the basics of salsa. Again, this is with absolutely zero experience prior to my first lesson with her, so I think this says a lot about her ability to teach and build confidence .
Dora is a great choice for a teacher if you are someone like me and maybe a little unsure of whether you could really learn this well enough to go out in a social setting. Dora has made the lessons fun, but more importantly she has taken a genuine interest in making sure I am actually learning what I need to know to be able to go out in a social setting and be confident with this.
