Class Description:

Hip-Hop is an artistic and cultural movement that started in the 1970s in The Bronx of New York City by Black and Latiné youth who expressed joy through Hip-Hop during a time of oppression. Hip-Hop dance consists of Breaking (commercially known as Breakdancing) and Hip-Hop Party Moves (e.g., Bart Simpson, Biz Markie, Roger Rabbit, Running Man). In this class students will focus on a beginner-friendly Hip-Hop dance combo that will help with choreography and movement quality. This course is a prerequisite requirement for many of our beginner/intermediate or intermediate/advanced classes. Prepare to take this class for at least 6-8 weeks before advancing to the next class.

Meet the Instructor:

Dione (he/him) began his dance journey at UCLA on collegiate teams, starting with no prior experience. Over the past 11 years, he has cultivated his passion for movement and artistic expression, training with renowned Bay Area teams such as Project M, Groove Against the Machine, and most recently, Str8Jacket. Drawing inspiration from styles like Hip-Hop, K-POP, House, Jazz, & Afro, Dione integrates these influences into his choreography while honoring the rich histories of the dances he learns. Most recently, he was an instructor at City Dance Studios Fall 2024.

Dedicated to growth and sharing his craft, Dione creates dynamic, expressive, and enjoyable classes that emphasize musicality, performance, grooves, and textures. He strives to inspire through movement and foster a love for dance in his students. Check out more of his work on Instagram: @dcuycuy.
