Are there any colleges that major or minor in hip hop dance?

I am an advanced hip hop dancer but i’ve only had two years of classes in lyrical/jazz classes. What do you think would be a good college for me?

No. You’d be better off getting a degree in Airport Baggage Handling. Leave the hip-hop dancing crap to bimboesque cheerleaders and white suburban knuckleheads.

Who told you that there’s such a thing? That kind of major would be an insane waste of money. No one needs a degree in hip hop dancing. If you ever find such a school it’s either a joke or a scam. HOWEVER! Most colleges and universities that have respected dance departments do not specify the form of dance that your major is in. Most design their curriculum to include many different styles to include ballet, hip-hop, improvisation, modern, flamenco…and some even offer african, middle-eastern and ballroom. Some colleges have more class offerings than others. It is a good idea to research a few programs and see exactly what styles they require and offer, and base your decision on the results. If you’re considering college, please take it seriously. It’s very expensive and there’s nothing worse than owing money the rest of your life for an education that doesn’t help you make it in the real world. But if your really that good go for it. Good Luck

theres no such thing! But it would be pretty awesome if such a thing existed in schools…
but im sure some colleges provide hip hop dance clubs and such to compete against other schools.

you could always go to a proffesional dance school…
but most colleges offer major and minors in hip hop dance. i have a breakdancing aquantance who is majoring in hip hop at a college as little as American River College (CA), so I doubt it will be hard to find a college which offers it. you want to look for quality. im not sure exactly what colleges though, sorry.
good luck, i love hip hop!!

Try Florida Community College of Jacksonville, or UNF. Both of these schools have a great dance ed program!!
