This new class is the talk of the studio! The students will learn the foundations of this dance: Toprock, footwork, freezes, and power. What is most important is that the students will begin to develop their own identity as a bboy/bgirl during the learning process of the dance when integrating the patterns, and movements they learnt in class. Students will also learn how to work cooperatively and respectfully with each other in various group activities within the class. Every student learns and understands their body different from one another, so it is not a race for the student to be the best at every aspect of this dance right away.
