Enough snow already; who is excited for summer? We certainly are! At Move Makers, summer break means it’s time for Hip Hop Summer Camp! Movemakers Philly Hip Hop dance summer camp keeps kids having fun while learning through movement enrichment. Our 2018 summer camps are for all experience levels and for ages 5 and up. No previous experience is needed, just a desire to dance!
SIGN UP for SUMMER CAMP here!

Students learn choreography from a variety of different instructors working in different hip hop styles. We cover general hip hop, funk styles, breaking, and current dances. Our instructors have hip hop history and knowledge to impart, while embracing the latest playground moves.

“I like training in hip hop because I can try out different dance styles, see which one fits me best, and put myself into it. Hip hop has helped me in that it makes me feel more confident. Whenever I am upset I can just put on a song and dance to it.” Izzy, 11 years old

Camp students become more confident improvisers and freestylers. We believe the ability to think on your feet and enter the cypher with confidence translates to all areas of life. Kids will leave our camps feeling fit, more confident and with new cultural awareness. Join us for this exciting opportunity in Center City, Philadelphia.

“As a parent what I like most of Movemakers camp is knowing my child is getting the best instructional dance in the city of Philadelphia. The instructors are very knowledgeable and skilled at what they do.” Marinez J.

“I really liked the games that we played. My friends really enjoyed it too. Some of the games are Hip Hop generated, but sometimes it’s to get the giggles out! I like that we also got to make up new routines so there was stuff all my friends could do. [The teachers] made sure no one is sitting on the sideline. They’re very inclusive.” - Elana M., 10 years old.
