What is Urban Ignition?
Urban Ignition Hip Hop is a dance syllabus designed to provide technical and performance training for dancers of all ages and abilities. It’s offered by the Asia Pacific Dance Association (APDA) and focuses on foundational hip hop styles like B-Boy/Girl, Locking, Popping, Wacking, and New Jack.
The levels are made up of a series of exercises including arm and foot combinations, travel & turns, isolations, tutting, floor work, amalgamations and dances. All work is progressive and designed to develop co-ordination, strength, agility and style. (https://apda.co.nz/syllabi/urban-ignition/)
