Jazz and hip hop
Music with a beat, a warm-up that moves and a routine to share, for ages 6 to 12.
Dancers pick up a groove, learn a combination in small pieces and show it to the class at the end of the hour. Shalini Nambiar teaches the class, and the music changes with the weeks.

Step 4: Share it
Half the room dances while the other half watches, then they trade.
What to wear and bring
A fitted top with leggings or shorts, so the teacher can see how a step moves. Hip hop wears clean sneakers that stay in the studio, and jazz wears jazz shoes.
