About street dance classes in Plymouth
Street dance covers a family of styles born outside studios — hip-hop grooves, house footwork, popping, locking and the commercial choreography you see behind chart artists — and our Plymouth class pulls from all of them. Each week has a theme: one session is all about bounce and rock, the next drills a footwork pattern, the next is a full routine to a track from this month's playlist. The common thread is groove. Get the beat into your chest and shoulders first and the moves stop looking stiff.
It's a natural neighbour to hip-hop on our Plymouth dance classes timetable, and quite a few people alternate between the two depending on the week. Ages range widely — some are teenagers' parents, some are the teenagers — and the only entry requirement is turning up in trainers. Nobody is corrected for being off the count in week one; the teacher is far more interested in whether you're committing to the move than whether your arm is at the textbook angle. That attitude-first approach is why people who swore they had no rhythm end up leading the back row by the end of a block.
How the class is structured
The hour opens with a groove-based warm-up to get everybody bouncing on the same beat, followed by isolation drills and the footwork of the week. From there we learn the routine, eight counts at a time, with each chunk repeated until the room has it before adding the next. The final ten minutes run the whole thing in small groups, so nobody is ever performing alone but everyone gets to dance it flat out. Across a four-week block the routine builds into something you'd be happy to film. Nobody is filmed without asking, and nobody is put on the spot to freestyle until they want to. Groups sometimes take the same energy to our street dance hen party class for a one-off session.
Where it goes
Four weeks in,
a whole new bounce.
Street dance clicks quickly once the groove settles. Here's how a first block typically unfolds, from stiff shoulders to a routine you actually own.
Bounce and rock
The two foundations of every street style — rocking on the beat, bouncing in the knees — and why they matter more than any move.
Footwork and isolations
Simple footwork patterns, chest and shoulder isolations, and the start of a routine to this month's track.
Attitude and texture
Sharp versus smooth, hitting accents, letting moves breathe — the bits that make the same steps look like yours.
Full out
The finished routine, run in small groups at full energy, plus a first taste of freestyling over a beat.

Street dance questions
Ask us
about street dance.
Ten fast answers for anyone sizing up street dance in Plymouth. If yours isn't here, the form above will get you one.
01I've never danced — can I honestly join a street dance class?
Yes, and you'd be in good company. The routine is taught in tiny chunks with plenty of repetition, the groove is drilled before any move, and the room is used to newcomers. Most people are surprised how much they've got by the end of hour one.
02What styles come under street dance here?
Mainly hip-hop grooves, commercial choreography and touches of house, popping and locking as the weeks go on. It's a mix rather than one strict style, so you end up with a broad base and a sense of which you like most.
03Do I need a partner or a group to come with?
No. Street dance is solo by nature and most people arrive alone. Small-group run-throughs at the end of class mean you'll know a few faces by week two without having to bring your own.
04Trainers and a T-shirt — is that right for street dance?
Loose, comfortable clothes you can sweat in and clean trainers with a flat sole — that's the whole kit. We don't supply footwear or anything else, so what you turn up in is what you dance in.
05What music does the class use?
Current hip-hop, R&B and chart tracks, with older classics thrown in when the routine calls for them. Playlists change monthly, so a second block will always feel fresh.
06How much is street dance?
Ten pounds gets you a single class. Thirty-two pounds gets you four weeks in a row, which is the better deal at £8 each if you know you'll come. That's it — no sign-up fee and no direct debit.
07Which part of town is the class in?
Right in the middle — a studio we hire in Plymouth city centre, so buses, the train and the main car parks are all a short walk. Ask through the form and we'll send the exact venue alongside your timetable, since the room can change as the schedule grows.
08Is street dance a good workout?
A proper one — you'll be moving almost the entire hour, and the full-out run-throughs at the end get most people out of breath. It's high-energy but low-impact if you want it to be, since you choose how big to go.
09Am I too old for street dance?
No. Our class runs from 17 to 75 and the age spread in the room is one of the best things about it. Groove doesn't have an age limit; the moves are scaled to whoever is doing them.
10Can I try one class before I commit?
Yes. Pay £10 on the night, dance the hour, and decide afterwards whether a block suits you — most people know within the first twenty minutes. There's no pressure to sign up for anything further.
