1. Threeesteps
Dance studio Threeesteps seeks to embrace the liberating spirit of hip-hop, to both empower and inspire its student learners. With its curriculum focusing on rhythm and body movement, their classes are designed to allow students to fully shed their inhibitions in favour of self-expression and self-acceptance. They’ll get opportunities to participate in video productions and performances, as well as create their own dance routines during freestyle “battles”! It is tremendously fun and a great diversion from the rigour of academics.
