ABOUT HIPLET™

The Hiplet Ballerinas are a performance group based out of the Chicago Multi-Cultural Dance Center in the USA.

Hiplet™ was created by Artistic Director Homer Hans Bryant & evolved from the "Rap Ballet" of the 1990's. Specifically designed to make Ballet accessible to all people, Hiplet™ is a fusion between classical pointe technique, Hip-Hop, and a variety of other dance styles.

Training - Summer Intensive

A lot of people ask - how do I become a Hiplet Ballerina? Or how do I get my child involved? It all starts with training, and a great time to train is at a summer intensive program.

Hiplet Ballerinas train in a variety of styles, and most of the dancers got their start as students of the Chicago Multi-Cultural Dance Center (CMDC). CMDC is holding a 4 week summer intensive for ages 9 & up from July 5 - 29. Through a fun and challenging curriculum, students enhance their ballet technique while exploring the various dance styles of hip hop, modern, contemporary, and more.
