Our Pre-Competitive program is for dancers who have good basic foundations in Hip Hop, Popping, Locking, Krump and Breakin. They still have to sharpen their technique and work on execution and performance of movement before they can enter into the Competitive program. These dancers practice 1.5 hour a week and will attend 1 competition during the season and will perform in our year end recital in mid-June . Sometimes some of the Pre-Competitive classes have the opportunity to perform at Community events or when Jade's Hip Hop Academy presents itself to the community.
COMPETITIVE CLASSES

Competitive dancers are those dancers who can strongly execute and perform the techniques of Hip Hop, Popping, Locking, Breakin and Krump.They are also able to pick up Choreography quickly and maintain a strong work ethic including dedication and focus. Competitive dancers practice twice a week for 1 hour and will attend a minimum of 3 competitions during the season. They will perform at our year end recital and many will perform in community events, shows and attend auditions and castings.
ADULT CLASSES
Hip Hop is not only there for the youth, adults have as much fun learning Hip Hop as they do. Classes are given in a 12 week sessions and on a drop in basis and everybody can join in. Classes are aimed at learning hip hop but at the same time having a good work out every week. The first session of every year begins in september. __________________________________________________________________________________________________
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 different pace and groove, danced and performed mostly to R&B songs. Lyrical Hip Hop requires a lot of emotion and dancers work a fair bit on their communication and their story telling. Lyrical hip hop is offered and beginner and advanced levels with the opportunity to compete. Lyrical Hip Hop classes do participate in the end of the year Showcase.

BREAKIN CLASSES
Breakin Classes are taught by our highly qualified breakin instructor. This class has a more in depth focus on bboying and works on the fundamentals in top and down rocks, power moves (windmills, flares etc.), freestyles and individual style and flavour. This class can be taken all by it self or in addition to regular hip hop classes.
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 do not necessarily want 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.
