Choosing a Hip Hop dance school can be a very difficult decision. There are many factors to consider, from the age of the student, to the tuition cost. I have compiled information about some of the top schools for instruction in hip hop dance. Perhaps this can help guide you in your decision.
The first school is BLADE Dance Academy, located in New York, NY. Blade offers four different levels of instruction, they are: Dancer in Training, Dancer, Principal Dancer in Training and Principal Dancer. Achieving the level of Principal Dancer means you are fully trained and ready to be a professional dancer in music videos or on tour. You can also earn a full scholarship and a position as an assistant choreographer by achieving this level of mastery. BLADE is a highly professional facility that employs cutting edge techniques and choreography, as well as professional trainers for any aspect of the dance business.
BLADE caters to all skill levels, from the very beginner to the well-developed professional dancer. Their instructors really work with students to assure they are developing their abilities and talent to the fullest.
The next school I would like to tell you about is M2 Dance Center. M2 has been in business since 2000 and has a very high recommendation for working with very young people to develop their talents. The staff at M2 Dance Center has more than 100 years of experience combined and their instructors are of the highest caliber you will find in the dance business.
M2 students have the opportunity to participate in different shows and contests and they have a proven championship record over the last five years for competitive dance. M2 dancers learn not only to dance, but to have fun and be focused and confident in themselves and their abilities. The learning environment caters to families which makes them an excellent instruction school for the beginning skill level. Classes can be started as early as 2 ½ years of age and there is no maximum age. No one is too old to learn the art of dance.
M2 has one of the strongest hip hop instruction classes in the region and is back by top, professional instructors and highly professional dance services nationwide.
The third school I want to discuss is the Gwen Bowen School of Dance Arts. Miss Bowen has been in business for more than 50 years and operates her own studio. She also does a large part of the dance instruction herself. The Gwen Bowen School of Dance Arts accepts a wide range of ages and skill levels. Whether you are a 3 year old beginner or a 40 year old semi-professional, you will find a class to suit your needs here. This school is one of the few who do not participate in competitions, but they do have several performances every year for their students to showcase their talent and skills.
If you have children who are enrolling and choose to enroll yourself as well, you will find it beneficial that at the Gwen Bowen School of Dance Arts they have family rates for pricing. Your entire family can go for one set rate instead of having to pay for each child. They also offer a wide variety of classes, including hip hop dance.
The last school I would like to mention is the Jersey City Dance Academy. They have been in business for 30 years and have a curriculum that is adaptable to any personality type. Whether you are trying to perfect your technique and style for a professional career as a dancer or just dance for the enjoyment or physical benefits, you will find a home here.
The student to instructor ration is quite low compared to most school that teach hip hop dance and the personal attention results in better, more confident dancers. Taking classes at the Jersey City Dance Academy will give you new appreciation for music and make very apparent the rewards of discipline and self-confidence.
Children who are enrolled at the academy are taught the safest techniques and latest dance moves with highly qualified teachers who care about their students both as a group and as individuals. Jersey City Dance Academy strives to constantly maintain concentration and personal responsibility and pass those traits on to their students.
As you search for a dance school to learn hip hop dance keep in mind that the key factors should be qualified instructors, professionalism and making sure you feel comfortable with the curriculum. There are literally hundreds of schools to choose from, these are just a few of the best.
