About this event
Hip-hop is more than choreography. It's a culture built on creativity, community, and self-expression. In this beginner class, students will learn foundational hip-hop movement through drills, freestyle exercises, musicality training, and age-appropriate combinations. Rather than preparing for recitals, students develop rhythm, confidence, discipline, and their own unique style. This is a serious dance class designed for students who are ready to focus, learn, and engage with the art form in a meaningful way.
Rikud Studio – Prospect Heights · Prospect Heights
Littles introduces movement foundations and freestyle through the culture of hip hop. Toddlers must be able to walk! Taught in a dance-party-style format, toddlers and caregivers jumping, bouncing, stomping, social dancing, imaginative movement, and our signature Toddler Cypher. Classes also include somatic movement, caregiver-assisted tricks, story time, and introductions to Brooklyn hip hop culture. At Rikud, we believe children learn to dance for life, not for recitals. Our goal is to help little ones become comfortable moving, grooving, and expressing themselves in community. Along the way, children build coordination, rhythm, confidence, body awareness, and social connection while developing a foundation for freestyle and a lifelong love of movement.

MiniMovers (4-5) Jazz/Tap
Rikud Studio – Prospect Heights · Prospect Heights
MiniMovers: Jazz & Tap is an energetic introduction to two of America's great dance traditions. While Rikud specializes in hip hop and breaking, we believe young dancers benefit from understanding the broader lineage of Black American social dance . Tap develops rhythm, timing, and musicality, while Vernacular Jazz introduces the groove, improvisation, and movement concepts that helped shape many of the street and club dances practiced today. Students will build coordination, balance, listening skills, and confidence while exploring foundational movement through age-appropriate drills, games, and creative exploration. At Rikud, dance is more than steps. It's culture, music, rhythm, and history in motion.
