Streetdance /Hip-hop is more than just dance; it is a culture and lifestyle that originated on the streets of New York (The Bronx). Streetdance is the collective term for all dance styles that originated on the streets (including Hip-hop, but also Breakdance and funk styles).
CONTEMPORARY DANCE
FROM MOVEMENT TO
EMOTION
LESSONS
These classes are all about the ‘Groove’ and the ‘Bounce’. Where ballet reaches up and is light, Hip-hop is ‘grounded’ (low to the ground) and relaxed. The focus is often on releasing stiffness, building fitness and understanding the ‘flow’ of the music.
What kind of movements are you learning?
The Bounce & Rock
The basics of everything. You learn to continuously bounce your knees to the beat. Without bounce, the dance looks stiff.
Insulations
Like Commercial, you learn to move body parts independently of each other (e.g. sliding your ribcage from left to right while your hips are stationary).
Old School Moves
Iconic passes from the 80s and 90s that you often learn as basics. Think of the Running Man (as if you were running in place), the Bart Simpson or the Cabbage Patch.
Levels
You don't just dance upright. You learn to jump and go down (squat, knees) and sometimes small bits of floorwork.
Freestyle
You are encouraged to put your own spin on a pass. This is called your ‘flavour’.

TEACHERS - STREET DANCE YOUTH
Frequently asked questions
What do I wear to a Streetdanc/Hip-hop class?
- Clothing: Wear something you feel comfortable in and can move around easily. Many students wear sweatpants or leggings and a T-shirt. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable in it.
- Shoes:Clean trainers (no outdoor shoes). Make sure your shoes do not streak on our white dance floor.
You can also do this lesson on socks.
When can I start?
You can take a trial lesson and start a course at any time of the year. You don't have to wait for a new series of classes to start.
Can I take the classes if I have never had this kind of class before?
You certainly can. First follow a trial lesson to get acquainted with the dance style, the teacher and the other students.
If you like the class, you can start a course the following week and you will see that you will master dancing a little better each week.
How long does a lesson last?
A youth class lasts 60 minutes, while an adult class lasts 75 minutes.
Can I take a different class every week?
This is possible but we recommend dancing along to the same class every week as much as possible, as you will be working on the same choreography for a few weeks at a time.
How often can I take a trial lesson?
You can take several trial classes until you find the right one to sign up for. This way, you can get to know different teachers and dance styles. We will be happy to help you plan an additional trial lesson.
You cannot take a trial lesson twice at the same lesson time.
What does a trial lesson cost?
A trial lesson costs €12.50. You can sign up for a trial lesson in three ways:
- on the website
- via email: info@wladimirstudios.nl
- by phone: 020 6274245
If your child has a City Pass, sign them up via e-mail or phone. You do not then have to pay for the trial lesson.
