Hip Hop Funk

Hip Hop Funk is the most mainstream dance style, seen commonly in music videos such as Britney Spears' or Justin Timberlake's. It's also associated with movies such as ‘You Got Served' and ‘Honey'. The style has many influences incorporated, which varies from choreographer to choreographer.

Bboying/Breakdance

Bboying is considered one of the four hip hop elements and is one of the most spectacular dance forms in the world. It incorporates toprocks, footwork, powermoves, and freezes and many other influences from other styles.

Popping

Popping and Boogaloo were created by Boogaloo Sam in the 70s. ‘Popping' is usually mistaken as an umbrella term for other styles which are often mixed in with popping and boogaloo such as; tutting, strobing, waving etc.

Popping involves flexing the muscles on beat to give a ‘snap' or ‘pop' effect.
Boogaloo is a fluid, wavy style that uses the whole body

Locking

One of the most fun and funky dance styles to date! Locking is an improvisational style that emphasises character and flavour.

The style incorporates sharp locked poses, and other funky movements such as; Scooby Doo, Funky Air Guitar and Which-a-Way

All classes start with a stretch and warm up of the body. Students will then learn and drill techniques from the foundations of the dance style and proceed to learn a choreographed routine.

Groove will also be having guest workshops and classes taught by some of Melbourne's most successful and professional dancers. Be sure to check back often to see when these one-off classes occur!
