This is the official site for The Hip-Hop Dance Conservatory. The mission of this non-profit association is to further legitimize hip-hop as an art form through the education of dance students. It was established by Safi Thomas who is accomplished in both performing and dance academics. The site explains the reasoning behind HDC’s cause, and provides a historical and technical explanation of some classic social dance moves, videos of performances, and a notice of events furthering their cause. The conservatory serves as a great example of how some dance specialists are working to close the gap between social and performance dance through legitimizing it in the education system.
