At Body Politic, we’re more than just a dance company—we’re a community. Our mission is to empower dancers through high-quality, street dance education that’s accessible, supportive, and professionally led.

Over the term dancers will learn a wide range of Hip Hop Foundations including, Krump, Hip Hop, Breaking, introduction to Freestyle and more.

Body Politic assesses the level and ability of your child at the beginning of each new term, giving each student a chance to be moved to a different level of class. In addition to this, classes are regularly monitored and any student we feel should be in a different level are moved throughout the term. This is always at the discretion of the teacher(s) and Artistic Director.
