Teen Hip Hop Dance Classes: Finding great classes!

You're looking for Seattle fun teen hip hop dance class, but how do you find a good one? What questions do you ask? Here are some tips.

Look for non-competitive dance classes where everyone is friendly and you'll always feel welcome.
A class where the teacher understands that the pace of the class has to be good for you is essential.

Does the dance studio have specially designed 'sprung' wood floors that 'give' to protect your feet and ankles. Avoid studios with regular wood floors and heaven forbid, run, run away from dance studios with concrete floors... OUCH!
Only attend a school having customer accommodating policies like a 100% money back guarantee if you don't like your class for any reason.

Most importantly look for a school that has expert dance teachers who know how to give your child personalized attention so they will progress faster.

My daughter, Sabine, comes home so happy after the 8p class with Cameo - it is exactly what she wants. She totally gets into the dance and then just glows.

Regan Frolich
ADI Parent

Pushes students to learn and grow but does so in a kind and gentle way.

My daughter wants to stay in beginning hip hop instead of moving on to intermediate because she likes Cameo so much

This instructor's method of teaching is really fun and we learn the dances very quickly. She encourages us to go full on in learning the steps.

Really good at conveying instructions.

I really liked the new and different choreography. Sometimes she moved a little quickly while teaching.

Cameo is amazing. She is a savant with children's names (how does she do it???), is fun and firm at the same time, and she always looks like she's having a great time out there. The kids adore her and her laser game at the end is such a huge hit.

We love her!

She is very talented and great with the kids.

THis was my daughter's first dance class and Cameo provided a consistently fun and challenging experience for her.

She's great with the kids and very cool

She's awesome. Very knowledgeable of hip hop, great handle on controlling the classroom and tremendous patience. Love her!

We really like Cameo. She cares a lot about each student - and she knows how to connect with them individually.

Were it not for Cameo, I would have quit this program. She always makes it fun!

I like how she works with the girls, firm but not mean. She has a fun way of showing of correcting them by using examples of the difference.
