Frequently Asked Questions
What ages can join kids’ hip hop at The Stage Door?
We run age-grouped classes from Primary through Teens, plus Hip Hop-style movement for Preschoolers via our Ready Set Dance (ages 2-5). Ask for the current age bands when you book a trial.
Are your kids’ hip hop classes beginner-friendly?
Yes. We place students by age and experience. New dancers learn grooves, timing, and simple combos before progressing to faster footwork, isolations, and freestyle.
Do you offer kids’ hip hop dance classes near me?
We teach at three Sydney locations: Norwest, Rouse Hill, and Austral. Choose the studio closest to you and book a free trial to confirm fit and travel time.
What happens in a typical class?
Warm-up and rhythm drills → technique (grooves, footwork, isolations) → a short combo → optional freestyle prompts → cool down. Older groups also work on performance quality and stage craft.
Do you have hip hop dance classes for boys?
Yes. Our classes are co-ed and welcoming. Many boys start in hip hop because of the music, athletic movement, and crew vibe.
What should my child wear to hip hop?
Comfortable activewear, clean sneakers with non-marking soles, hair tied back, and a water bottle. A studio top is optional for trials and recommended once enrolled.
How long are classes and how big are the groups?
Most kids’ hip hop classes run 45 minutes (some older groups run 60). We cap class sizes to keep instruction personal and progress measurable.
How do make-up classes work if we miss a week?
We offer unlimited make-ups across the 7-day timetable, subject to availability. Just contact reception before attending a different session.
Are there exams or performances?
Yes—optional syllabus assessments and our end-of-year showcase. These create clear milestones without pressure; students participate when skills (not nerves) say they’re ready.
Is hip hop safe for kids?
We teach age-appropriate progressions on sprung floors, emphasise alignment and control, and avoid high-impact tricks until foundations are solid.
How do we enrol after the trial?
We’ll recommend the best class/time based on age and experience. Complete a quick online enrolment form, choose payment option, and you’re set.
