Hip Hop Kidz

with Lyn Cole

What a great way to check out our popular new kids dance class Hip Hop Kidz with Lyn Cole. The Old Town School hip hop dance for the younger ones is focused on rhythm, musicality, and basic footwork in a casual, friendly environment. Using games and music, hip-hop is a great way to get kids moving and having fun!
