WHAT TO EXPECT?
Train with the best for our annual Hip-Hop Summer Intensive!
This 1-week intensive provides the experience for youth to gain exposure, knowledge, and insight to the many styles that Hip Hop both influenced and were influenced by. Led by Decimus Yarbrough, this intensive offers hands-on training in a variety of styles, including locking, rhythm training, street jazz, breaking, tap, afro funk, house, and choreography, providing a well-rounded exposure to both the foundational and innovative movements within the culture.

Whether you’re looking to refine your technique, discover new styles, or simply challenge yourself, this is the perfect opportunity to grow as an artist and dancer.
