What’s a good way to start getting into hip hop dance?
Posted by adminJan 7
I just recently decided I wanna get into it and learn how to do it, should I take a class or try to learn on my own? I live in Illinois so if I should take classes, please suggest some places? 
Also, since there are a lot of different styles of hip hop dance (it seems like it anyway) I’m looking for the kind of dance that Quest Crew does, with a lot of tricks and break dancing and not just shaking your butt around the whole time.

I would say to start off with classes for a little bit, then teach yourself afterwards, when you know some techniques and know some from experienced teachers. So I say, go to classes for a little bit to know the basics, then let your instincts teach the rest. Hope this helps. :]]

you should totally get a small crew of friends together and practice dancing at home or something.

You should probably start off by yourself..
Just so you feel comfortable with hip hop movements.
Try popping, some beginner b boy stuff.
And believe it or not, shaking your booty is a big part lol.
You need to know how to move your hips and butt.
not like thats what you’ll be doing all the time. You just need to have those movements.
Once you feel comfortable, go to any hip hop dance class.
If you feel comfortable there then you’re set (:

I think you should do both. Take up a class and learn at home, try get a friend to join with you so you will feel more comfortable from the very beginning. If you want to do a lot of tricks and things then try find a class that does some breakdance aswell. I’d try suggest a place for you to take up classes but i’m from ireland and im not sure what places are good there. But anyway, give it a shot, im sure you’ll do great..good luck! =)
