The next part is where I get to personally blow my own trumpet; 'I am proudly one of the top 5% of qualified street dance tutors in the UK', I'm passionate about teaching REAL street dance, sharing not only my dance expertise and vocabulary, but sharing knowledge of the roots and evolution of street dance styles.

In pre-covid times and what will be post-covid times, we have plenty of performance opportunities for all ages and levels, starting with in-class termly performances for the age 3 to 5 classes, progressing to an every-level-is-welcome annual showcase for students aged 6+, and an original piece of street dance theatre bi-annually for 80 students who successfully audition for places. And there's more... Students aged 6+ who've been with us for 2 years or more have the opportunity to try-out for our community performance crew teams, we also have a professional team of adult dancers - who trained with us here at Hip Hop Pop who perform all over the country, some even globally!

"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED STREET DANCE CLASSES"
"This is not just a dance school in Harlow, this is a community. The directors of Hip Hop Pop are two of the kindest, talented and most generous people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. It does not matter your level of technical ability, this school fosters team work, social skills, pride, confidence and resilience in all of its students. I can honestly say they're supportive of all their students regardless of age, gender, race and other discriminatory factors which plague society.
