Before the first class
Who it suits
Dancers who have taken hip hop for at least a session, or who come from a trial class the teacher says fits.
What to wear
Practice clothes in the crew's color for showcase night, from your own closet, and clean sneakers.
A place on the crew
The teacher keeps a waitlist when the crew is full and calls families as places open.
