Rhythma Studios is one of the official sponsors for the Big Battle this Saturday called,  Shut Up n Dance.  If you wanna see some of the sickest poppers, lockers and B-Boys battles in the city, don’t miss THIS event!!!   We would never steer you astray, this is the most exciting event in the city this Saturday, August 27th.

Where?

We will develop strength and flexibility in key areas, cover basic tumbling, and focus on performing balances with proper healthy mechanics.  We will start with the most basic balances, and work our way up as your skills increase!

Students should have at least introductory experience with similar physical training, for example in dance, gymnastics, or martial arts.  Most attire suitable for any athletic activity is acceptable, however, your hands, wrists, feet, ankles, and knees must be accessible, your clothes must not get in the way when upside-down, and be prepared to remove any jewelry.

Students will learn basic techniques and tricks, developing grace, spatial awareness, strength, and coordination.

Students will start with basic techniques and advance as they are capable, developing cooperation, balance, strength, and flexibility.

It is a performing art, but anyone interested in learning for fun or for exercise is equally welcome. Minors must have a liability waiver signed by their guardian.

Wear clothes you’ll be comfortable moving in, are not baggy, and don’t cover your wrists, ankles, or knees. Most attire suitable for dance classes or gymnastics is appropriate, or gym shorts and a fitted short-sleeved shirt!

Handbalancing classes will help develop balance, coordination, strength, flexibility, and cooperation. It requires not only using your body in new and different ways but also learning new ways to think about movement and space. For performers it will add a new unusual dimension to your existing abilities, and for non-performers it is a fun way to try something new, exciting, and challenging!
