Hip Hop Dances Classes in Aurora, IL

We welcome hip hop students as young as 4 years old in our Mini Hip Hop class. At this age, classes are centered on fun, rhythm, and basic movement through age-appropriate music and games. Older beginners are always welcome too — we have classes for teens and adults with zero prior experience.

No experience is required at any level. Hip hop is one of the most beginner-friendly styles we offer. Our team will place your child in the right class based on their age and any dance background they may have. Many students start hip hop with no dance experience at all and thrive immediately.

Hip hop students wear comfortable clothes they can move in — sweats, joggers, or athletic wear are all great. Clean, non-marking sneakers with good ankle support are required (no street shoes worn outside). Hair should be pulled back away from the face. No specific uniform is required for hip hop — just come ready to move.

Yes — always. Our instructors carefully select music that is age-appropriate for every class level. Parents never need to worry about inappropriate lyrics or content. Clean versions and instrumental tracks are used throughout our younger classes, and all music choices are reviewed by our faculty.

Yes! All hip hop students are invited to perform in our annual June Recital at Neuqua Valley High School and our Holiday Show in December. These performances are a highlight of the year for students and families alike. Participation is encouraged but never required.

Yes. Hip hop is a central style in all three of our competitive programs — Steps Dance Company, Steps Dance Crew, and Steps Dance Team. Advanced hip hop students interested in competing can audition for any of these programs. Contact our director Rebecca Rosenberg at rebecca@stepsdancecenteronline.com for details.

The biggest difference is our faculty. Our hip hop instructors have toured internationally with major recording artists, appeared on national television, and taught at the most respected commercial dance studios in the country. There is no other dance studio in the Aurora or Naperville area with hip hop faculty credentials at this level. Your child learns from instructors who have actually done it — at the highest level in the industry.

We are located at 4054 Fox Valley Center Drive, Aurora, IL 60504 — minutes from Naperville, Oswego, Montgomery, and Lisle. We sit right at the Fox Valley Center off Route 59. Free parking is available on-site. Call us at (630) 499-5678 or email info@stepsdancecenteronline.com.
