ABOUT THE PROGRAM
TEEN HIP HOP DANCE CLASSES FOR AGES 13–17 IN AUSTIN
Elementz Crew is the top rung of the Danzversity youth ladder — the room where teenagers stop being taught dance and start building the dancer they want to be.
Thirteen to seventeen is the age where a kid decides whether dance is something they did or something they do. Elementz Crew is built for that decision. Classes at our Austin studio (7531 Burnet Rd, in the Crestview / North Austin area) run harder and go deeper than the younger groups: longer combos, real musicality work, cypher time where teens have to answer the music without being told what to do, and the expectation that you retain what you learned last week.
The class is built on the Elemental Dance Method™ — Danzversity's curriculum that breaks hip hop into four elements (Earth, Air, Water, Fire). Elementz Crew is where Fire lives: performance, presence, and the confidence to take up space. Teens here have usually moved through Earth foundations, Water flow, and Air dynamics — either with us since they were small, or compressed into a few months if they came in later. Both paths land in the same place.
No experience required, and prior training is welcome. Roughly half the room has never taken a class before; the other half arrives with ballet, jazz, contemporary, drill team, or cheer. Neither is a disadvantage. Trained dancers get their technique translated into hip hop vocabulary — which is usually a harder adjustment than starting fresh, because hip hop asks you to sit into the ground rather than lift out of it. Beginners get the foundation without being rushed past it.
Classes meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:45 to 6:45 PM. Most families come twice a week ($150/month); once-weekly is fine too ($100/month). Both are month-to-month subscriptions you can cancel any time from the portal. The evening slot is deliberate — it clears middle-school and high-school practice schedules, and teens who come straight from another sport can make it.
Culture, not competition. Hip hop was born in the Bronx in 1973 and carried by communities of color, and by this age teens can handle the real history rather than a sanitized version of it. Every class carries a Culture Drop: where a move came from, who built it, why it matters. Teens leave knowing they are participating in something with a lineage — not performing a style they found online.
For teens who want more than class, Elementz Crew is the feeder for the DanzVRSR crews and the Breakin’ Series. Class is the foundation; teams are where it goes next.
THE CURRICULUM
WHAT YOUR TEEN WILL CONQUER
Elementz Crew goes deeper than any teen dance class in Austin. This is Hip Hop as a complete culture — not just choreography.
Build and learn routines with purpose and meaning. Every piece has a message — students learn to say something through movement, not just execute steps.
Develop professional stage presence and audience engagement skills. Elementz Crew performs at every Danzversity showcase — this isn't optional, it's the goal.
Lead warm-ups, help younger dancers, and build team unity. Teens in this program don't just grow as dancers — they grow as people who know how to show up for a community.
Prepare for dance battles, showcases, and community performance opportunities. We honor the competitive and cipher traditions of Hip Hop culture — not watered-down versions of it.
Cultivate a unique movement signature while mastering multiple Hip Hop styles. By the end of Elementz Crew, your teen will have a voice — not just technique.
Build endurance, flexibility, and confidence that extends beyond dance. The discipline in this room follows them into school, relationships, and everything else.
