About Course

Is your kid is curious about “break dancing”? Whether your child has no experience breakin’, has learned some moves from Rae’s Kids Dance Jam, or just makes up their own moves at home, this class is designed to help kids build a breakin’ foundation. This self-paced course consist of 6 videos (approximately 12-18 minutes each) which introduce some break dance terminology, a dance warm-up, and a little on the dance culture. The dance warm is included in each video to encourage students not to skip this important step as strength and flexibility are necessary for harder moves. No back flips, head spins, headstands, or the worm. This class focuses on safety and execution. While the course is designed for students to follow each video independently, students under the recommended age should have a parent present when following the moves. If your child has tons of breakin’ experience then this class is not recommended. This class is best for beginners or those looking to work on their foundation.

Parental Guidance 

This class involves physical movement. I recommend using a space that allows you child to stand up and move. This does not need to be a large space. 

The dance moves in this course are selected to allow students to dance independent of adult assistance. By registering for this class you understand that I am not responsible for any injuries that may occur to the participant due to improper execution of the moves, in adequate space to move, or lack of adult supervision.

This class includes funk, pop, rap, and hip hop music.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does my child need to be flexible for these dance moves?

No. This course includes a warm-up that helps with strength and flexibility. Building these skills are important, but not required to have prior to taking this course.

If my child has some breakdance experience should they take this course?

Maybe. If your child is unable to put together a full routine and only spins on the floor, then taking this course will give them real moves recognized by other B-boys and B-girls worldwide.
