KIDS HIP HOP DANCE
SYDNEY DANCE RHYTHMS ('SDR') offers a range of classes for children including Creative Dance, Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Salsa, Latin and Ballroom Dancing. At SDR, your child will have the opportunity to perform and display the skills and dances they have learnt at the end of each term. Throughout the year SDR will hold performances at one of many events including local Food Festivals, Carnival of Cultures, and Sydney Family Shows and other festivities, and your child may be chosen to show his or her newly learnt Hip Hop talent.
Kids Hip Hop is one of the more popular genres and SDR offers classes to cater for children in two age categories. In the Kids Hip Hop classes, your child will be encouraged to develop their sense of movement and rhythm to the latest rap, rnb and hip hop songs. They will enjoy working out and getting fit in a friendly social environment while learning a range of skills from basic movement to more technical moves.
Our Hip Hop instructors are highly experienced and have successfully taught a number of children of all ages to perform on stage or for recreational and educational purposes. Children of all ages will be exposed to conventional hip hop dancing as well as breaking, popping, locking, gliding, ticking, vibrating and krumping. Our Kids Hip Hop lessons cater for young children through to young adolescent.
We offer Hip Hop classes for kids both in Summer Hill.
We offer Hip Hop classes to children from as young as 6 years old.

ANNA MONTGOMERY
"I highly recommend Cristina and Sydney Dance Rhythms to anyone interested in wanting their children to participate and excel in dance. My daughter Elena who is 6 was fortunate to have a full term of dance as part of her school curriculum and absolutely loved it and flourished under the instruction of "Miss Cristina". She now attends a weekly jazz dance class and is thoroughly enjoying learning new routines and participating in a fun team environment. My daughter has been to other dance schools in the last 3 years but Sydney Dance Rhythms is definitely the one she has most enjoyed and looks forward to attending every week!"
ANGIE MARINO
“I took my very first dance lessons with Cristina and it was amazing! I learned how to Salsa 6 months ago and I still remember the steps she taught me. I met great people while taking the course and at the end the whole class we went out to for an authentic Salsa night in Sydney. We all got to put our moves to the test, have fun and see how much more we can improve by watching everyone else at the club. Overall, it was a great and affordable opportunity in a relaxed, comfortable environment that everyone should take advantage of sooner than later!”
PETER CHICARIELLI
“My daughter, Lizzie, has enjoyed participating in the Creative Dance Classes running on Saturday mornings. She loves pretending to be animals, doing silly falls, learning a little routine, pretending to sleep and wake like a flower. As a parent, I enjoy seeing the creative play, freeze, circuit, pompoms, the mix of boys and girls and parent involvement.”
EMMA BAYLEY
“My daughter loves the Hip Hop classes. The teacher is wonderful, very friendly and easy going and my child loves her style of teaching.”
Maria
“Our wedding was very memorable and I'm proud to say the bridal dance was the highlight of the night. We had such great fun with you during the dance lessons, and you gave us so much confidence for our dance. You pushed us hard to do a dance that we didn't even think we had the capabilities to do.”
PETER & WINNIE
“It was fantastic having Sydney Dance Rhythms dancers demonstrate and then dance with the members of our senior’s club last week. Our members were very excited to get a chance to dance as most of them have not danced in a long while. It stirred up some lovely memories for them and started conversations about the past. Your friendliness and warmth drew our members into participating and it was a surprise to see some of our frailer seniors take to the floor. The music was well balanced and the variety was enjoyed by all. Our members have agreed that it would be wonderful to have you back again and we look forward to another session of dance and enjoyment.”
