HIP HOP DANCE:


Young people are constantly inventing and creating.  Hip Hop Dance classes are a place for young people to do plenty of improvising, while also learning everything from the basics to advanced choreographed routines.  Youth perform for different audiences, in competitions, and are taught and encouraged to incorporate a wide variety of styles and techniques.  Come on in and we'll get you into the right class with the instruction you need.
 

GRAFFITI ART:

In many people’s minds, ‘graffiti’ tends to instantly translate into ‘vandalism’ or ‘defamation’.  Graffiti is intertwined with Hip-Hop as one of the 4 main elements of the culture, and can be viewed only as a misunderstood art form that dates back to ancient times. A medium of self-expression, graffiti is always provocative. Graffiti today, is before all else, a culture.  At Elementz, we have one of the best artists in the city to teach the basics of letter design, wild style, characters, backgrounds, color schemes and originality.

DJ LESSONS 101:

Those eager to learn this classic hip hop art form will be schooled on everything from the equipment used by DJs and how to care for it to beat mixing, scratching, and beat juggling.  Youth will even have the opportunity to learn other tricks DJs use in battle-type performances.  We have several opportunities for all young people, regardless of their skill level.  We have begun to amass a respectable collection of records and have enough equipment to keep everyone happy.  And we've got some of the best DJs in town on the ones & twos.
