Hip Hop Dance Classes
Posted under: 
Hip Hop Dance is a rage among young dance students. Delhi Dance Academy conducts Hip Hop Dance classes every day of the week at its dance studios. Students are trained on diverse international Hip-Hop, House and R & B music which gives scope for different kinds of moves and styles.
Hip Hop – An Introduction
The term “Hip Hop” is a combination of two words, “Hip” which means current or in the know and “Hop” as in the jumping movement.
They say that Hip Hop as a musical genre and as an artistic dance form originated somewhere in the Bronx in New York during the 1970′s. Hip Hop originally was a creative expression of the suburban African-American and Hispanic-American communities but gradually spread across communities, regions and countries and is now popular among dance enthusiasts around the world.
Hip Hop music began when DJs started experimenting with rhythmic beats in loops, then with rap vocals, hard hitting lyrics and beatboxing. All this accompanied with deep bass, innovative guitar strumming and high end sound effects.
While this new kind of music was gaining acceptance and popularity, particular complimentary styles of dressing, dance and art were also making way into the lives of fans. This is how Hip Hop as a dance form and Graffiti as an art form came into being. Today, music, dance and graffiti, all are essentials part of the Hip Hop culture.
Hip Hop in Delhi
India has a big pool of young population. With the establishment of good infrastructure and latest technology, at least in the major cities, easy access to global television and internet is now commonplace. This has brought information and knowledge about diverse cultures, global trends, world music and dance etc. within the reach of millions and millions of Indians over the past 2 decades.
Hip Hop culture in terms of music and dance started influencing the Indian youth in the early 1990′s and glimpses of Hip Hop started appearing in the Indian Pop Music industry and the Bollywood movie industry. Hip Hop music and dance have been growing in India ever since. The popularity of Hip Hop as a dance form can be seen on a plethora of dance reality shows that have flooded the Indian television in recent times.
At present, as a dance form, Hip Hop in Delhi is a mix of different kinds of professional, experimental and freestyle dancing. Delhi attracts youth from all over the country who bring their own flavor of Hip Hop dancing to the table. This has created an interesting genre of Hip Hop in Delhi which is, of course, majorly influenced by the western media, music videos, movies and t.v. shows but also includes a tinge of Bollywood and Indian contemporary. In recent years, many dance schools have come up in Delhi to teach and promote Hip Hop. This is a good sign for the fans of Hip Hop and for those who want to explore this new age culture.

Hi DDA
Danced hIphop a while back and really want to restart. Had a weird experience when I first arrived in India and attended a ‘hiphop’ class at another dance school that was totally Bollywood (interesting but not my thing).
So just wondering… Is your hIphop more hIphop, or more Bollywood? If more Bollywood, are 1-to-1 classes an option?
Thx
Philippa
Hi Philippa,
Lots of our students also prefer a mix of Bollywood with Hip Hop and so we also have many Bollywood and Hip Hop combined batches throughout the week. However, we also have a dedicated B-Boying class that happens on all weekdays from 9 to 10 pm, which might suit you.
The detailed time table for all classes in given on http://www.delhidanceacademy.in/time-table-fees. I could arrange a free trial for you if you’d like to come, have a look and make up your mind. Please call me on 9953835088 and let me know what you think.

Hi DDA
Any 1-to-1 hIphop classes? Weekends for example?
Thanks!
Philippa

Hey DDA,
i’d like to join the dance classes during my semester break(approx 2 months).Can u please let me know the procedures 2 b undertaken for admission??
Dear Nabasmita, the procedure for admission is – you have to bring a form of ID, one passport size photograph, fill in our application form and pay 1 month’s fee in advance to join. The fees are payable at the start of every month.
We do offer a free trial class where you can get a feel of the class, meet other students and chat with the instructor. This is a no obligation class and I’d recommend you come in for one at your earliest convenience.
Best regards

Hi I am 25 year old. I haven’t still learn’t dance. Now I just wanna learn dance. To learn dance I have some positive points such as I know Yoga and I have flexible body.
Raj, 25 is a young age and even though it’s never too late to learn, you are in perfectly the right slab to start. Having a flexible body is a great advantage and our trainers will take care of the rest.
Give us a call to arrange a time to come in to one of our dance studios and we’ll start from there.
want to learn completly not only hip hop but each n every form of dance except clasicals and folk,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i want to learn be boying too …….. so plz suggest me the right teacher ,,,,,,,,
Dear Tarun,
Thanks for getting in touch. We have a dance class by our extremely talented choreographer Rajat where he teaches Hip Hop, B Boying and Bollywood in the same batch. The idea of having a batch like that is to make a dance form that is accepted these days and is in great demand – we think that when you add a little bit of Hip Hop and B Boying to Bollywood, you create a dance form that attracts more attention and is better accepted in the modern Indian media.
Come over to the academy any day at 6 pm, 7 pm or 8 pm and meet Rajat, he’ll be able to discuss your exact requirements and place you in an appropriate batch depending on your dancing proficiency.
Thanks
Arjun
hi DDA!
I’m very fond of dancing but not good at it. Its my hobby so i would like to give it a try. Not professionally, but just to fulfill my desire. I like all kinds of dance (freestyle), most importantly locking n popping. I’m a student from Manipur (15yrs) and will b coming to Delhi for 1 month, so can u please tell me if there are any classes just for a month or two? I would love to learn as much as I can. Can u please tell me the fee structure and procedure to be undertaken for admission also? Thank you.
Dear Alice, it’s good to see you desire to learn. We have a batch where we teach Bollywood mixed with Hip Hop. One month is not a long enough time to master a dance form, but a month will give you a better dance body and help you move to music better. Call us when you’re in Delhi and come in to our studio for a trial.
The fee structure is given on the fee page on this website and the procedure for admission is for you to get a form of ID, a passport size photo and your fee – very straight forward
Good luck
Arjun

Hello DDA,
I am very passionate about dancing and also have been performing since my school days. I am keenly interested in Hip-Hop, B-Boying & Freestyle Dancing. After a lot of surfing I found this a suitable place to land upon. So can you mail me the complete details of the courses. My only problem is that I am free during weekends. Please suggest me something asap.
Regards.
Dear Deep, thanks for writing to us. On weekends we have batches of Bollywood dance and Salsa only. However, we are starting a Hip Hop batch for weekends from the 11th of Feb 2012. Please come in to our studio at Amar colony (details are given at the contact page) between 6pm and 9pm tomorrow (Saturday the 4th of Feb 2012) and speak with the instructor Rajat, who’ll be able to custom make something for you.
Good luck with your pursuits
