We offer multiple Street Dance, or Hip Hop dance programs for children and teenagers:
Recreational classes in Hip Hop and Break Dancing at Star Dance School are mainly "fun only" dance classes. The children will have a good workout, and learn some hip hop moves, and basic hip hop and breakdancing techniques in fun and friendly atmosphere. The classes are taught by qualified teachers, but there are no strict attendance requirements, no uniforms or competitions, and class sizes of the Recreational Hip Hop and Break dancing classes are generally larger than the Street Dance Crew classes.
Street Dance Crew members/students are expected to achieve high standards in Hip Hop, Breakdance, Acrobatics, Locking, Popping, and/or other styles of Street Dancing, and therefore must practice and do at least one technique class per week. If you skipped a dance class, you are expected to make it up. Competitions and performances are a lot of fun but they require a serious discipline. There could be rehearsals and competitions during the school vacations or holidays, and students and parents must be equally dedicated and prepared to invest significant time into dancing.

Star Dance School provides group and private social ballroom and latin dance classes for children 5 years and older. Dance is an exciting way for children to develop important social skills that lead to success both at school and throughout their lives. In our Social Dance Classes we teach Classical Ballroom Dancing, Street or Social Latin Dancing, and Rock 'n' Roll. These dance classes are a stepping stone towards competitive dancing, or Dancesport, and are a great confidence builder.
