Description
Contemporary Hip Hop is a newer style of hip hop that incorporates lyrical movements and is smoother in general. It's a popular style of dance that's often used in music videos, dance shows, and musicals. This program is part of a series of six dance programs for beginner women featuring these styles of dance: Bollywood, Belly Dance, Contemporary Hip Hop, Chair Dance, Burlesque, and Alter Ego (Music Video). Try all of them today!
Based on the most popular new dances of today, we've put together an exciting dance program that combines fun, fitness, and dancing. Best of all, the program is designed for absolute beginners, so you can take your time learning from the comfort of your own home. The variety of the Beginner Dance For Women program dances will take you everywhere from the zany fun of Bollywood dancing to the sexy, seductive chair dancing routines.
And of course, the program is designed specifically for women. Since this program is ladies first, we go where the boys don't dare - shimmying, flirting, teasing, moving our hips, rolling our bodies, and showing off all our sexiness.
For each unique, exciting dance, Angela will teach you two full beginner dance routines. The dance routines will follow the structure of a dance class, except you have the option to go through the dance steps and practices, if you're stuck on any one move, or wish to perfect it.
The dance routines are built gradually, learning one or two sets of dance moves (called counts of 8 in dance terminology) at a time, and then doing a practice to the newly-learned moves. Afterwards, another set of dance moves are built on the existing dance moves and practiced until the full routine is learned.
Don't worry if you don't the moves right away. Angela has plenty of experience teaching beginners, and we've created the dance program with that in mind. The moves have been carefully designed for easy "body memorization". We've chosen moves for beginner dancers, BUT if you think you've got it down, we've put in plenty of extras to keep you busy and coming back to the program.
Finally, we finish with a workout in each style of dance that either focuses on stretching, cardio, or strength.
Who this course is for:
- Beginner women who want to learn how to dance a hip hop routine.

Hi! My name is Jesse. I also go by my dancer name Ki'une. (My partner Angela teaches the women's programs, and her profile is further)
I've been teaching men how to dance for a long time, so I've seen it all: Guys who feel they have no rhythm, guys trying to impress their fiance's at their weddings, guys who shy or uncomfortable on the dance floor, and so on. You name it, I've tackled it.
What my students like most about what I teach is just how simple I break things down. I don't mind repetition or teaching something that others might seems ridiculously simple. I myself am a lifelong learner - I'm constantly challenging myself - so I totally understand what it's like to be new to something.
I love to dance, and considering how long our lives are, I firmly believe it's an essential skill that just makes life sweeter. It's an amazing social tool, whether it be to make new friends in a friendly battle or to attract a woman. I've taken my dancing all around the world, vlog about it, and I'm here to share my dance knowledge with you!
As for Angela, she's a professional dancer, choreographer, fitness teacher, and dance instructor. She has over 15 years of experience teaching dance, from beginner children's jazz funk classes to complex hip hop routines for competitions. Her work includes being on several high profile dance videos that have over 10 million combined Youtube views, as well as a dancer for Katy Perry.
