Making up about 35% of our youth and adult offerings, Hip Hop continues to be our most sought after genre of dance at Joy in Motion.
Hip Hop Crews have existed by “director placement” for many years at Joy in Motion. We felt then, and still believe, it’s important to create space for those more committed dancers who choose to make dance a major part of their extracurricular life and be placed with other like-minded individuals. We believe in teaching the value of honoring commitments, teamwork, and collaboration. Having experienced significant growth in our most popular genre of dance, we held auditions for dancers to be considered for a “Crew” class starting in the Fall of 2025. In addition, we will again assign director placements for some higher level classes. Non-Crew Hip Hop remains on the schedule, so there is a place for everyone.
We currently have a Mini Crew, a Junior Crew, and a Teen Crew.
*Current Crew members are evaluated during Fall and Winter/Spring however, they do need to audition again for the next school year.
CONGRATULATIONS to our 2025/2026 Crew members!
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
Who can audition?
Dancers ages 10 and up.
What are the benefits and commitment?
They only meet once a week like other hip hop classes. One benefit is that they get to be placed with a truly committed group of dancers that practice and work hard. They are held to a higher standard. The other benefit is that they get to perform in more than one cast in shows. This past year, Jr. Crew got to be in three casts (6 shows) and the Teen Crew got to be in all five (10 shows).
