CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
LITTLES
18m-3 Years Old
Littles introduces movement foundations and freestyle through the culture of hip hop. Toddlers must be able to walk!
Taught in a dance-party-style format, toddlers and caregivers practice jumping, bouncing, stomping, social dancing, imaginative movement, and freestyle through our signature Toddler Cypher. Classes also include somatic movement, caregiver-assisted tricks, story time, and introductions to Brooklyn hip hop culture.
At Rikud, we believe children learn to dance for real life, not for recitals. Our goal is to help little ones become comfortable moving, grooving, and expressing themselves in community.

Breaking/Hiphop
A ‘hip-hop’ movement class for 4-5 Year Olds
A playful hip-hop moving and grooving class designed for early learners. Students explore basic rhythm, simple steps, coordinated arm and foot patterns, beginner floor movements, and fun hip-hop and breaking grooves that build balance, confidence, and body control.
MiniMovers Jazz & Tap (Ages 4–5)
Redefine how you think about Jazz and Tap. At Rikud, we teach these forms through the lens that Black history is dance history. Students are introduced to vernacular jazz and rhythm tap through age-appropriate movement, games, and music while learning the cultural traditions, rhythms, and communities that shaped these forms.
hiphop
Kids Hip Hop ages 6+
Hip hop is more than choreography. It is a culture built on creativity, community, history, and self-expression. Students learn foundational hip hop movement through drills, freestyle, musicality, and age-appropriate combinations while exploring the music, history, and cultural traditions that shaped the dance. Rather than preparing for recitals, students develop rhythm, confidence, discipline, and their own unique style. This is a serious dance class for students who are ready to focus, practice consistently, and engage with hip hop as an art form rooted in culture, not just performance. This is not a preschool-style movement class. Students should be developmentally ready to participate independently, follow instruction, and remain engaged throughout class.
Breaking
