RSL Awards · graded hip-hop

Hip-hop you can actually be graded in.

Most street-dance classes in Chennai teach a routine. Our hip-hop classes sit on the RSL Awards graded syllabus — the same UK awarding body behind Rockschool music grades — so a student builds real vocabulary and can work toward an internationally recognised certificate.

  • Graded, not just choreographed. Progress is assessed against a published syllabus, not a teacher’s opinion.
  • Recognised outside Chennai. An RSL certificate travels — useful for school portfolios and applications abroad.
  • Entirely optional. Plenty of students train purely for performance and enjoyment. Nobody is pushed into an exam.

Bollywood, breaking, locking and popping are taught alongside hip-hop as part of the same class progression. The graded pathway applies to hip-hop.

ADULTS

A level-by-level movement journey

Vocabulary first. Choreography with something underneath it.

Students do not only memorise the front row. Training develops rhythm, body control, retention, spatial awareness and the ability to perform with other people. Style-specific vocabulary grows alongside musical understanding.

  1. 01FOUNDATION

    Find pulse and shape

    Groove, weight transfer, basic isolations, directions and clean beginning–ending positions. Students learn how counts relate to what they hear.

  2. 02COORDINATION

    Layer the body

    Combine footwork with arms, level changes, turns and expression while keeping timing stable. Short sequences build memory without overload.

  3. 03STYLE

    Make movement specific

    Hip-Hop foundations, Bollywood gesture and cinematic expression, or fitness combinations are taught with their own quality—not flattened into generic steps.

  4. 04PERFORMANCE

    Own the phrase

    Use dynamics, facings, formations, eye line and recovery skills. Hip-Hop students can explore Rockschool pathways when certification suits their goals; it is not compulsory.

Anatomy of a class

Every high-energy class still has a structure.

Prepare the body

Raise temperature progressively, mobilise the joints used in the session and introduce the groove before asking for speed or depth.

Train one idea

Isolate a foundation, rhythm or coordination problem. Repetition is purposeful: students know what quality they are trying to change.

Assemble the phrase

Choreography arrives in manageable sections, with counts, musical cues, direction and options for different experience levels.

Perform and reflect

Small groups or full-class runs develop focus and confidence. Feedback targets a few useful priorities instead of criticising every detail at once.

Ask before you step in

Floor notes.

Does a beginner need rhythm before joining?

No. Recognising pulse and coordinating movement with counts are trainable skills. A beginner batch should make the pattern visible and repeatable before adding speed.

What should I wear or bring?

Choose clothes that allow full movement, secure hair or accessories, bring water and use footwear requested for the class. Ask before buying specialist shoes.

Is Hip-Hop certification compulsory?

No. Rockschool can offer a structured assessment route, but students may train for enjoyment, performance and skill development without entering an exam.

Is Dance Fitness the same as a technique class?

No. Dance Fitness prioritises sustained, enjoyable movement and scalable cardio. It uses choreography, but does not require the same performance detail or progression as a dedicated style class.

Can a shy child still benefit?

Yes. Confidence often grows through predictable routines, small-group practice and achievable performance moments. Instructors should invite expression without humiliating or forcing a learner to the front.
