You may experience some light sweating and increased heart rate. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing. Class includes stretching, routine and cool down.
Hip Hop:
A modern and popular style of dance similar to that seen on music videos. The intensity is similar to doing a low impact aerobic class. Be prepared to sweat moderately. Class includes warm up, stretching, toning, routine and cool down. *PLEASE NOTE: Music used in Hip Hop classes contains occiaional course language that may not be suitable for children
Enrolment: There's no need to enrol in beginner classes, so just turn up! We teach new choreography in every class, so you can start any time. These classes are casual, meaning you don't need to sign up for a whole term. Intermediate classes require enrollment for a whole term.

Philosophy: the classes emphasise fun and fitness in a social and community atmosphere. There's no uniform, no sign up fee and no commitment required to join in the fun. So come along and have a go.
Help keep the cost of dance classes low: Our classes have always been $7 and we have never had a price rise becuase Bollyfunk Dance classes are designed to engage the community in dance, rather than make a large profit. It's our aim to offer affordable classes to all members of the community. You can help us keep the price of classes low by helping us spread the word about classes - tell your friends, put a poster up at your community noticeboard or letterbox some leaflets to your street. Ask Rachael for more info on how you can help.
