HOOPS DANCE ACADEMY

Founded in 2008, the HOOPS Dance provides a high standard training for over 500 students each year. All our classes are led by two foremost dance instructors Elie Fleihan and Rana Saliba, who focus on cultivating the students self-esteem and body coordination with a rich program that let them appreciate the love of dance. Our students are always given the opportunity to perform what they have learned in various events regularly organized or coordinated by HOOPS across Lebanon. The Academy also organized regular dance camps for its students both in Lebanon and Abroad.
The academy offers classes in the following dance disciplines:
Hip Hop
Creative  Dance
Ballet Jazz
Break-Dance
Oriental Dance
In our Hip Hop classes we teach the basics of this style like popping, locking, breaking cutting, isolation and to develop the students’ creativity.
While in Creative Dance, the students are encouraged to add their own style to each step they are also taught principal steps from classical and contemporary ballet. This style involves balance, attitude and precision in movements.
As for the Oriental Dancing, it requires sensuality and helps to develop the self- esteem and flexibility
