This video is from our beginner Hip Hop Class. It’s a mixture of Hip Hop, African, and Salsa to fit the flow of the track. You all have made it our MOST popular video and we thank you so much for the support!

NOTE: Since it’s come up in comments, let us state for the record that the first 16 counts were choreographed to be done in canon with the second group starting one count later than the first … they’re not off beat
