UW Hip Hop Club

The UW Hip Hop Club is a club dedicated to the Hip Hop dance community and provides weekly hip hop dance classes to UW students.

About
The purpose of The University of Waterloo Hip Hop Club is to provide a fun, social environment where students can learn hip hop dance. Members of the club have the opportunity to grow as dancers by being exposed to different styles of hip hop dance, while meeting others who are passionate about dance. Practices help members to develop balance, coordination, strength and confidence.

UWHH is open to anyone and everyone willing to learn. Students of any experience level are welcome! Members range from inexperienced dancers to dancers at the advanced level.

No audition is required to be a part of the club. Any member may perform with UWHH at events and competitions throughout the term (excluding OUCH, which has auditions in the fall) as long as they can commit to attending the practices.

UWHH Sessions
Typically, UWHH holds 2 sessions a week, 1.5 hours each session (changes based on studio availability) and are taught by student choreographers with different backgrounds and different styles. UWHH Choreographers have trained and danced with dance groups such as Identity Crisis, Yell-Oh!, i ROCK WITH THE ONE, C2 Genesys, VYbE, etc. and have trained in various styles of hip hop with different influences which add to the diverse dance community at UW.

UWHH Workshops
More recently, UWHH has hosted various workshops for the UW community featuring dancers from other schools in Ontario, such as Laurier, Western, and UTSC. UWHH has also hosted dancers from C2 Genesys, VYbE and Twisted Ankles for special workshops to continue to further the growth of the UWHH dancers. All workshops are free for club members but are also very cheap for non-members, as the UWHH mentality is that the club exists to bring together the community and help the community grow in all ways possible, regardless of costs.
