Who is Hip-Hop for?
Children in partner-school programmes and academy groups. Children can begin training from Grade 1. Every child develops differently. Our coaches assess each learner's interests, readiness and abilities to recommend the right starting level and training pathway. Music and lyrics are chosen to suit the group. Adult classes are arranged on request.
How is progress measured?
Coaches assess groove and rhythm, foundations, freestyle and performance against defined criteria. Progress is shared with families through coach feedback and term reports.

What is freestyle?
Freestyle means improvising to music. Learners build a vocabulary of moves first, then practise combining them in their own way.
