Levels is a teaching system for structured hip hop and breaking classes. The curriculum identifies what to teach and why it matters, the videos demonstrate how to teach it, and the instructor adapts the delivery to the dancers in the room. The three parts of the system 1. Curriculum: Sets the weekly theme, skills, activity, practice, and progression. 2. Videos: Demonstrate unfamiliar skills, activities, and key concepts. 3. Instructor: Brings the material to life through observation, coaching, energy, and connection. The video library is a support tool. It is not a substitute for the weekly curriculum, and instructors do not need to watch every video before teaching. What to do first Start with one curriculum, one level, and one class. Follow the published sequence for the first four to six weeks before making major changes. This gives the teacher time to learn the system and gives the studio a clear baseline for deciding what should be adapted. A simple class formula For a first pass, choose: • One warm-up • Two or three skills connected to the weekly focus • One activity • One short wrap-up or review The curriculum card is a menu, not a requirement to complete every listed item in one class. When to ask for help If you are unsure which curriculum or level applies, share the dance style, approximate age group, prior hip hop or breaking experience, class length, and number of classes per week. Do not include dancer names or private assessment records.
