Break Dance – Eric Malapad
Invitation Only
Dancers here are working on developing their own personal skills, tricks and styles. They will work on very complex movements and are committed to putting their own time in after hours.
Competitive Levels of Hip Hop

| Senior Hip Hop | 12 and up | 5hrs/week |

The competitive levels are focused and committed to not only their classes but also their team mates. They get the opportunity to work with at least 3 different teachers who focus on different styles and areas of hip hop. They are required to attend Core Training, which focuses on cardio, core conditioning and flexibility.
These levels compete in festivals such as The Upper Island Dance Festival, North Island Dance Festival and a festival over on the mainland. They also get a lot of opportunities to perform at various community events.
