Hip Hop Dance Classes in Dubai: For All Skill Levels

BODIFY’s hip hop dance classes in Dubai are open to every level. This means they are suitable for all comers, from absolute beginners to women who already know their way around an 8-count. The format is built to work for both in the same class. Beginners start with foundational, isolated moves, while more experienced dancers take the same choreography routine further, to a more advanced level.

Got no dance background? No problem! We’re the perfect place to start. Our instructors break every choreography routine down step by step, so you’ll understand exactly what to do. No rhythm? We’ll teach you. As long as you bring a willingness to move and learn, the technique will come with the sessions.

Our beginner hip hop dance classes work well because of the structure. You build from the ground up, with each class adding something extra and something new, built on top of what you already know. Most women are surprised at how quickly they get it.

What Is Girly Hip Hop?

Girly hip hop is a feminine take on classic hip hop. As a discipline, it places emphasis primarily on expressive movement and feminine flow. This means that women are immersed in their own self-expression, instead of aggressive postures or heavy floor work that is typical of classic hip-hop dance. However, it takes the primary foundations from this urban dance style, such as groove, rhythm, and musicality, reshaping them into something that feels more feminine.

In our studios, this takes the form of choreographed hip hop dance routines, set to modern pop and R&B tracks you know and love. The routines include important hip hop concepts like body waves and isolations, with an overarching focus on how you carry yourself through the music. The result of this is a feminine dance style that functions as both a fun activity and a workout.

At BODIFY in Dubai, Girly Hip Hop is one of the most energetic classes on the schedule. It’ll bring your heart rate up enough to count as a real cardio workout, but fun enough that you won’t be able to wait until the next session.

Hip Hop Styles & Classes We Offer at BODIFY

Every woman at a BODIFY hip hop dance class has a different goal. Some want a dance fitness workout, simply to burn calories without feeling like a boring run on a treadmill. Some want to learn dance choreography from scratch. Others just want to move with body confidence and feminine flow. The class format covers all three.

Here’s how the formats break down:

One BODIFY membership covers every class on the timetable.

Fitness Benefits of Hip Hop Dance for Women

Hip hop dance trains your cardiovascular system and works multiple muscle groups, all while building coordination and agility, making it one of the most complete dance fitness formats available.

On the physical side, a single hip hop session is excellent for calorie burn. Full-body choreography engages multiple muscle groups simultaneously. You’ll notice improved posture, better balance and increased stamina.

On the mental side, you’ll quickly feel your body confidence build naturally. This will grow and grow as the choreography becomes more familiar. After a long day in Dubai, self-expression through movement is one of the most effective ways to decompress. Our women-only environment at BODIFY makes it easier to let go for true stress relief.

This class gives you coordination, agility, musicality, and rhythm that you can carry beyond the studio, into real life.

What to Expect in Your First Hip Hop Class

Here’s the format of BODIFY hip hop dance classes so you’ll know exactly what to expect.

Warm-up (10 min): Your body is prepared for dance with mobility work and light cardio. Your certified hip-hop instructors will walk you through the basics of the warm-up.

Basic moves & isolations (15 min): The workout then moves to the foundational elements of hip hop, like basic chest isolations, hip grooves, arm lines, and weight shifts.

Choreography breakdown (20 min): This is the main section of the session. Your instructor will teach you a short choreography routine in 8-count segments. First you’ll be taught slowly, before building up to full speed with music.

Freestyle moment (5–10 min): A short, low-pressure section to put what you’ve learned into practice, in the form of dance to music.

Cool-down (5 min): The instructor will then lead stretching, focused on the muscles that did most of the work in a hip hop class.

What to wear: leggings or joggers with a fitted top, crop top or T-shirt. Make sure to wear sneakers with a good grip. Do not wear heels. Make sure to bring a water bottle and a small towel, and everything else is provided by BODIFY.
