Language & teacher(s) English

In the hip hop world, a Cypher is a sacred circle where dancers come together to express themselves, exchange energy, and showcase their skills. It's a space of creativity, connection, and authenticity.

Throughout the course, you'll gradually become familiar with the Cypher culture and learn how to navigate this dynamic dance arena with confidence. Damiano will teach you the unspoken rules and etiquette, helping you feel at ease while being seen and expressing yourself within the Cypher.

As always, we strike a harmonious balance between technique and creative expression. Each participant is encouraged to find their own unique voice within hip hop dance. You'll have the freedom to explore and experiment, ensuring that your style remains true to you.

Our mission is to empower you to feel confident in expressing

yourself through hip hop dance, both in and out of the Cypher. This course is a judgment-free zone where your individuality is celebrated, and your growth as a

dancer is nurtured. It is both for dancers with some basic experience and enthusiastic beginners .

Join us, and together, we'll explore the joy and energy that hip hop brings to life. At the end of the course, you'll have the opportunity to step into the Cypher with your newfound skills and confidence, embracing the spirit of this vibrant dance culture.

Let hip hop be your canvas for self-expression, connection, and exhilaration. Let your unique voice shine as you groove to the rhythm of this electrifying dance style.

Practical

Wear shoes and clothes in which you can move easily and bring a bottle of water. This workshop will be conducted in English.

Level of experience
