# Popping Foundations

Street Dance Workshops For Every Level

Learn popping, freestyle, and urban movement in group sessions designed to build confidence and community.

Master the rhythmic, isolating movements that define popping through guided practice and creative exploration.
A More Personal Way to Discover Your Groove
Popping is about precision, rhythm, and the joy of isolating different parts of your body to the beat. In this workshop, I break down the core techniques like hitting, waving, and locking so you can understand the mechanics and feel confident executing them. You'll learn how popping connects to music and how to layer movements to create your own style. The focus is on building muscle memory while having fun with the process.
This session creates space for you to experiment without pressure. We start with fundamentals, move through guided combinations, and finish with freestyle time where you can apply what you've learned in your own way. The energy is supportive and inclusive, designed to help you feel comfortable exploring a style that might be new to you.
