hip hop Dance CLASSES
hip hop Dance classes In OXFORD
We have over 10 years experience running hip hop dance classes for young people aged 5-25 in Oxford. Classes are a fantastic opportunity to learn new dance skills, boost confidence and meet new people.
Sessions are led by experienced instructors from Body Politic. All our teachers work hard to create a safe and supportive environment where students feel empowered. Classes are structured to include:
- Learning choreography
- Technique training
- Opportunities to create your own moves and let your creativity flourish!
During Spring term, Body Politic hosts its annual dance showcase, thePLATFORM, which is an opportunity for all our young people to showcase their dance moves on stage at Pegasus Theatre.

Do classes run during school holidays?
Unfortunately, we only run sessions during term time. However, we offer special workshops and holiday provision. The team will ensure that this information is circulated to parents and young people.
Can parents watch?
We ask that parents do not come into the hall to watch as this is sometimes distracting for the other children.
Can I get extra support for term fees?
Body Politic offers subsidised places for any young person in receipt of free school meals, or families recieveing child benefits or universal credit. We also recognise that some families may be affected by the cost of living crisis, and would like to offer support to those who may be struggling.
