Hip Hop Classes

Hop to the Beat Dance Studio regularly holds Hip Hop classes taught by David Liberge in three locations: Central Square, Cambridge, MA, Auburn, MA and Providence, RI. These are adult classes although teens 13+ are also welcome to attend. Get on our mailing list to receive information on these and future classes.

Check the separate Swing, Lindy Hop & Balboa Classes page for information on Lindy Hop style Swing, Balboa and other classes.

David Liberge teaches Hip Hop on Sunday afternoons at Green Street Studios, Cambridge (near Central Square), MA, Monday evenings at Auburn Wellness & Sports Complex, Auburn, MA, and Thursday evenings at Perishable Theatre (Groundwerx Movement Center), Providence, RI. Classes are usually taught in 3 week sessions (one 75 minute lesson per week for 3 weeks). Each 3 week session works on a different fun Hip Hop routine to part of a song. It is possible to join a session in its second week. During some months, classes are given separately, just choose which ones to take. The classes are great for working on body isolations and movement, and are taught in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. They are appropriate for all levels, you do not need to have any prior experience and can start with any session. These are adult classes, but teens are welcome to attend. To get notified about these or future classes, please ask to be added to our mailing list.
