Hip Hop Kids Dance Fitness®
(Kindergarten - 4th Grade)
Where it all began! In our original Hip Hop Kids program for earlier elementary aged kiddos, we lead the kids through fun, follow-along dance fitness songs, break down the steps, play dance games, and have plenty of time to FREE dance with scarves, hula hoops and more!
Available in-studio or at-schools!

TEENS / TWEENS Edition
(4th - 8th Grade)
Our Tween/Teen Edition of Hip Hop Kids acknowledges this particular age in adolescence as a time where structured dancing is preferable to "free dancing" and we do our best to create a safe and respectful environment for these kiddos to MOVE their bodies and have FUN!

Hip Hop Kids Dance Fitness® was developed by owner/director Jessica Gleason. Jessica has been teaching dance and movement to kids and adults for more than 15 years. She started this program because of her passion to get kids dancing and enjoying just MOVING their bodies in in the moment; to dance without an end goal or product.
Jessica is a mom of two boys and has first hand experience of the heartache and stress that is caused by the pressure put on kids these days to specialize in sports/dance, etc. so early in their lives. She has seen how quite often if these kids are coming “too late to the game” or seen as “lacking in natural talent,” or if they really love the activity but don’t want to eat, breathe and sleep it, they might be “cut” from the team/class, etc., often as early as the tween years!
In light of this experience she felt compelled to create an inclusive space for ALL to come and enjoy dance and movement! Kids and adults too!
