Class Description:

Hip-Hop is an artistic and cultural movement that started in the 1970s in The Bronx of New York City by Black and Latiné youth who expressed joy through Hip-Hop during a time of oppression. Hip-Hop dance consists of Breaking (commercially known as Breakdancing) and Hip-Hop Party Moves (e.g., Bart Simpson, Biz Markie, Roger Rabbit, Running Man). In this class students will focus on a beginner-friendly Hip-Hop dance combo that will help with choreography and movement quality. This course is a prerequisite requirement for many of our beginner/intermediate or intermediate/advanced classes. Prepare to take this class for at least 6-8 weeks before advancing to the next class.

Raised in Santa Rosa, California, Olivia Piper began her dance training in hip hop and ballet but has since broadened her movement skills in jazz, tap, contemporary, modern, African, krump, musical theatre and more. In 2016 she attended Dance Theatre of Harlem's summer program followed by joining Auxiliary Dance Team in 2018 when the team competed on World of Dance (WOD). Gaining experience in teaching through private lessons, classes, musical theatre performances, and week long camps, Olivia loves sharing the gift of dance with others. 


After attending the illustrious Spelman College in Atlanta GA, she graduated with an honors degree in dance performance and choreography in 2023. It was there she gained a deeper appreciation for dance therapy work and choreography that tells intricate stories. Her first self produced work Our Protected Light, debuted in 2023 sharing a story of personal discovery while appealing to communities of curious minds, and young black women holding space for themselves. Olivia’s work urges movers to be raw, bold, and risky in the artistic space while simultaneously sharing proper technique and movement history.


Olivia has curated her own movement company A.R.C or analyze, release, create. She hopes to collaborate and hold space for participants to work through mental health blocks and create meaningful movement art to promote healing. She is excited to continue learning and share her movement with others as a first time teacher at Rae Studios!
