In hip hop this week we talked about all of the hip hop moves we have learned in class and also discussed/reviewed the 4 elements that make up hip hop. After our warm-up we worked on our style by just simply walking from one end of the room to the other. The class also learned a new move today called the “w” freeze. That is an easier one so everyone got it! Towards the end of class we worked on the hip hop routine we began learned last week and also added some more moves to it. We only have 2 hip hop classes left! Great job

Today in hip hop we had our final class battle and I will announce the winner next week! Throughout these battles every student has done really well so it was definately tough to narrow it down to 1 winner. After that battle we started to learn a class routine. We learned 3 8 counts today which is a lot for them to remember but everyone picked up the choreography quickly. The students worked really hard today so we ended class with a game to brush up on all our hip hop moves we have learned so far! See everyone next week! Great job

Unfortunately most of the class was missing due to other sports tryouts at school 
good luck and hope that you guys did well! So for class we had a quick warm-up and reviewed the six-step, knee drop, and salsa rock. Then everyone was given instructions to come up with two different transitions to get to their footwork on their own. Each student did really well. After they showed each other their different ways to get from top rocks to the floor we then learned a freeze. It was tough but most of them got it! We had a freestyle circle at the end good job!

Today in class each student shared with the rest of the class what they were dressing up as for Halloween! After that we had a great warm-up and then reviewed some moves that we have learned the past few weeks. Today we started learning a hip hop routine which we will continue to work on and it will evolve until the last day of hip hop when we can perform it for our family and friends who come to watch! Unfortunately, during our learning today our music was drowned out by the kids club who is right on the other side of the dividing wall with their music for the play “Thriller” that they put on for Halloween. We had to stop our routine since I could not yell over the music and we played a hip hop game using our moves. At the very end we had a few minutes to have a freestyle circle! Good job today and only 3 more weeks left!

Yesterday in class we worked on hip hop art again. I went more in depth about different styles the students can use and different and interesting techniques as well. Everyone practiced writing their bboy name using the techniques we discussed and every student came up with something differnt! It was great! After that we reviewed the 6-step and knee drop and also began to learn a new top rock called salsa rock. We had a freestyle circle at the end! Great job bboys!

In class on Friday we started out with a fun warm-up by playing a game. From there we worked on battling the rest of the class. We did our 1 vs. 1 battles and at the end of class we split the class up into two crews (teams) and they battled against eachother. They came up with their own crew names as well. Great job and we are going to moving on to learning a hip hop routine next week!

Today in hip hop we had a great, short warm-up and then needed to review our top rocks (which was the first move we learned). It needed some more practice and we needed to drill it over and over again on beat with the music. Everyone did really well and I saw a great jump in improvment in just the 10 minutes we worked on it. After our top rock review we proceeded to practice battling again and the students were instucted to use only their hip hop moves that we have learned in class when they were battling another student. There were several great battles and at the end we split the class into two “crews” and had crew battles. The kids did great and now we only have 4 weeks of hip hop left..it has gone by very fast

After one week off due to fall break, hip hop resumed! In class today we had a review of the most recent moves we have learned such as the six-step and zulu spin. A new move was introduced today called the knee drop. Eveyone did well with it and with more practice hopefully every student can master it! We talked about the art of battling again in hip hop and had 1 vs. 1 battles. The studens were told to really concentrate on utilizing the hip hop moves we have learned in class and putting them together to battle against another student. Great job today

Today in hip hop we reviewed what the students learned last week because I was not there. They had a substitute named Bonita who also teaches with All The Right Moves. They told me that last week they worked on top rocking to the beat (which is very important), learned the “w” freeze and also learned a plank freeze. So today we practiced the “w” freeze and plank freeze again. Also, battling was introduced to the class today and we spent the last 25 minutes of class having 1 vs 1 battles. Everyone did really well and it was a great chance for them to do their best and really practice their hip hop moves! No hip hop next friday due to a half day! Great job
