Body Politic Academy

Hip Hop Dance Academy

Body Politic proudly presents its brand-new Hip Hop Dance Academy. The Academy is a dynamic training programme designed for dancers aged 7 years and older who are ready to grow in confidence, technique, and performance. Launched in April 2025, with Saturday sessions in Oxford, this academy is your chance to train with experienced professionals in a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space. Whether you’re a beginner looking to learn foundations or an experienced dancer ready to refine your artistry, we’ve got a class for you: Juniors (Ages 7-11 years), Beginner / Intermediate (Ages 11–18), Intermediate / Advanced (Ages 15+).

Over the term, dancers will learn a wide range of Hip Hop Foundations including Krump, Hip Hop, Breaking, introduction to Freestyle, and more. Classes are split into 1x 1hr foundation training and 1x 1hr choreography and led by experienced Body Politic dance artists. Body Politic assesses the level and ability of each child at the beginning of each new term, giving each student a chance to be moved to a different level of class. Classes are regularly monitored, and any student who should be in a different level is moved throughout the term at the discretion of the teacher(s) and Artistic Director.
