What to Expect at Your First Urban Motion Class
Thinking about trying an Urban Motion class but not sure what to expect? Whether your child is a total beginner or already loves to dance around the house, their first session with us will be full of energy, fun, and freedom.
We run kids hip hop classes across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, with local venues in Omagh, Cookstown, Dungannon, Enniskillen, and Cavan — so you’re likely not far from the fun.
Here’s a breakdown of exactly what happens — and why kids (and parents) love it.
🚪 1. A Warm Welcome
From the moment you arrive, your child will be greeted by one of our high-energy, friendly coaches. We know how nervous first days can be — so we go out of our way to make kids feel comfortable, seen, and excited.
Parents are always welcome to stay and watch — especially in younger age groups.
🎲 2. Ice Breaker Games
We kick things off with a short name game or team challenge. It’s our way of building trust and helping the group bond quickly. Expect laughter and smiles within minutes — even from the shyest kids.
🔥 3. A Hip Hop Warm-Up
Next up, we get moving. Our warm-ups are fast, fun, and set to music your kids will love. Think dynamic stretches, movement games, and simple grooves to get their body and brain switched on.
🕺 4. Foundations + Freestyle
Here’s where the real magic happens. We introduce basic hip hop foundations — like grooves, steps, and shapes — and immediately give kids the freedom to experiment and express themselves.
We focus on:
Confidence, not perfection
Effort, not comparison
Fun, not pressure
Each child gets to interpret the movement in their own way. That’s the Urban Motion vibe.
🎯 5. Games, Battles & Cool Down
Depending on the group and age, we finish with team dance games, friendly freestyle battles, or call-and-response activities to reinforce skills learned that day.
We wrap up with a quick cool down, group high five, and reminder of how awesome they were!
🎒 What to Bring:
Comfy clothes (t-shirt, joggers/leggings)
Trainers (no special dance shoes needed)
Water bottle
A positive attitude! 💯
👨👩👧 Parent Tip:
Some kids are confident straight away. Others need a few sessions to fully settle in. That’s normal — and we support every child at their own pace.
