Hip Hop classes are available for all ages, bringing to life the playful attitude and fierce choreography of this vibrant and energetic genre. Routines emphasise street-style movements, execution, style, creativity, body isolations, control, rhythm, uniformity, and musical interpretation. Teams may also incorporate jumps, combo jumps, and other tricks for an added athletic element.
Pom classes are high energy and showcase the athletic dance abilities of athletes. Pom poms must be used for 80% of the routine. Important characteristics of a pom routine include synchronisation, visual effect, clean and precise motions, strong pom technique, and dance technical elements.
Cheer classes are available for all ages and open up a world of possibilities for athletes.
