What is locking or lockin'?
Best way to explain would be to watch it for yourself. Take a look at the following clip and be inspired!
I am a bit shy to dance with others in a dance class. Do you teach private dance lessons?
Yes, this is possible! In addition to my dance classes, I also teach private dancing lessons and private group bookings if you would prefer a more personal experience with individualised feedback, ego stroking and if you like to hear me call your name. Private group bookings with friends (real or imaginary) is also possible.
It's great because you get more individual feedback than dance classes, it's cheaper than private one-to-one dance lessons and you get to hear me tell off your friends.
Be warned: with private dance lessons you may see the side of you called the 'dancer' come out more frequently. Make sure you like that side of you.
Whether you want to conquer the world with dance or eliminate the world of dance we will discuss your goals and help you achieve these in the quickest time. Lessons are £60 (1 hr 15 mins) each on weekdays and £60/ hr on weekends.
Different rates apply for private group bookings. For private 1 on 1 dance lessons or group bookings please contact me at info@hipdancemoves.com

How do I know which dance class to choose?
You select your dance class. You realize there is only 1 dance class. Your mind tries to trick you that there is more
than 1 dance class. You engage in battle with your mind, you emerge victorious, the dance world is set free and you
can go and attend your 1 dance class.

Do I have to be fit to take part?
That's up to you. If you think you're fit, congratulations! If you don't think you're fit, do something to improve your fitness! Dancing lessons, hip-hop dance steps and locking and popping have been known to improve fitness.
I can't dance at all, will I be able to learn?
No so don't even try till you lose that negative attitude! Here are important personal qualities to be able to become a good dancer: dedication, attention to detail, not taking it too seriously, believing in yourself, mental toughness. If you happen to have these qualities, have a look at a Hip Dance Moves Class. You will be treated like a prince/ princess if you have these qualities.
I am 30 years old. Is it too late to start learning to dance?
Janet Jackson and Madonna are still sweating in out in dance studios and on stage, learning new dance routines and styles and they're past 30. Should they give up?
Do you have mirrored dance studios?
Yes! All dance classes are taught in dance studios with mirrors to ensure maximum progress. You can see your beautiful reflection any time you want.
What should I wear for the dance classes?
Wear comfortable clothing and trainers/ sneakers. If you like the tight trousers look that is cool as long as you can move your legs freely in the dance class, so make sure they're flexible tight if you're going for that look. If it's fashion advice in general you're after, I heard Trinny and Susanna are friendly and helpful. Or find someone with terrible fashion, ask them what is good fashion and do the exact opposite.
How do I become a dancer on TV?
Becoming a dancer on TV requires talent, determination and most important of all strong belief. It is important to be training regularly and attending dance classes to get yourself up to the required standard. If you can try and get into a full-time dance school as soon as you're old enough as this will give you a strong, all-round training. There are many, find the one that makes sense for your goals.
'Dance In A Pop Video' is also a great resource if you have intentions of becoming a professional dancer on TV and music videos. 'Dance In A Pop Video' is an ebook which is available at www.boxdancer.com
