Youth Open Hip Hop

Hip-Hop Dance Lessons for Youth

After completing the “Try-out session,” your child can join their Semester Recital Program. They will continue to work & expand on previous skills, acquiring new ones, and will showcase them with a routine at the end of the semester.

No previous experience is required. The students will learn the fundamentals of Hip Hop/Break dancing & learn a fun Choreography that will be performed at the end of the session.

This will help your child to develop coordination and overall confidence, besides giving him/her the knowledge of the dance itself. The instructor has taught Kids and Teens hip-hop classes for the past 8 years and is one of the best in the state. She is a talented and patient instructor with years of teaching & competition experience. Kids love it! Age limit: 9-12 years old.

Jordan River Parkway Trail

Taylorsville 4800 S–3900 S

Jordan River Parkway Trail - 4800 S to 3900 S - Taylorsville, Utah

Today I continue my Jordan River Parkway walking tour at 4800 South in Taylorsville, Utah by heading north along the river and walking to my day’s turnaround point at 3900 S in South Salt Lake. Murray, Utah is south across the street from here.

It’s January 19th, the temperature has been maxing out at freezing until this week of sun where it’s been approaching 40 degrees. It’s an enjoyable time to walk because there are few people and the air is refreshingly chilled with a relaxing sense of quiet.

Still snow on the ground. We’ve had snow cover since November this year due to the temperature hovering below freezing for two months.

Trail is not quite as well maintained as in Murray. Snow and ice patches were common.

Zumba Dance Fitness Classes Downtown Salt Lake City UtahZumba combines high energy and motivating music with unique moves and combinations that allow the Zumba participants to dance away their worries. It is based on the principle that a workout should be “FUN AND EASY TO DO” in order for Zumba participants to stick to the Zumba fitness program to achieve long-term health benefits. Zumba is not only great for the body, but is also great for the mind. It is a “feel-happy” workout.
