LYRICAL HIP HOP
Lyrical hip hop classes started in 2008. It is a new dance form and as the word "Lyrical" implicates, dancers dance out the lyrics of the song.The style of the dance is still hip hop but at a slower pace danced on slow R&B songs. Lyrical hip hop requires a lot of facial expression and acting.

BREAK DANCE
Break dance is thought in our studio by a qualified Break Dance instructor. This class can be taken all by it self or for those dancers who are signed up for the hip hop classes as a supplement for their skills in this element to become an all round hip hop dancer.
These classes are divided into age groups and are for those dancers new to Hip Hop and all the components which are Popping, Locking, Breakin and Krump or who just enjoy dancing and not necessarily like to compete.
Classes are 1 hour a week and the dancers will perform in our year end recital in mid-June. Sometimes some of the recreational classes have the opportunity to perform at Community events or when Jade's Hip Hop Academy presents itself to the community.
