Each class at Hype begins with a warmup to prepare the body for movement and help prevent injuries. Various stretching and strengthening exercises are then performed during the warmup to increase flexibility, strength and control.
All classes include learning of basic steps and progressive skills specific to each dance form. Dancers will then practice and perform dance combinations specific to their type of dance and ability level.
