My elementary-school boy wants to do a hip hop class. He's tried other styles of dance and has been unhappy to be the only boy in the class. I'd like to find an all-boys class, or at least one that's fairly evenly gender-balanced. If not hip hop, modern/jazz would be OK, too.
Any recommendations? Recreational dance but with a good technique base, if possible. Open to location. Bethesda, Rockville, NWDC, or McLean preferred. Gaithersburg might be OK, but no farther north than that. |
| Adrenaline in Tyson’s. |
| Find a local studio and have him bring friends. Boys don't register because there's not enough boys then boys don't register. It's a cycle. Bring your squad and viola...a balanced class. |
| My son is in a private school, and his classmates are scattered, not concentrated near us. His small class at school is already heavily gender-imbalanced and the handful of other boys are all not interested in dance. Been there, tried that. |
| Hmm I was going to recommend the studio my son attends but it's in VA. Hope you find something that works for your son! |
| Lots of great options out there. Call the schools you are interested in. |
| CityDance in NW DC |
Noooooooooo. |
| He might enjoy The Lab in Takoma Park (breakdancing) |
| C unit has classes and after a year there’s a performance hip hop team. We just did a convention Monsters of Hip Hop — so fun! |
+1 This is a great studio esp for Hip Hop (they are Nationally ranked) and there are lots of boys on the team and classes. |
| Elite in Cloverly has a specific hip hop class for boys. |
Nationally ranked wlby whom? Some money printing competition, please? Not impressed. |
C unit is so wildly inappropriate. You must be so embarrassed by the movement and costuming. |
