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.

Where Are The Hiplet Ballerinas?

A lot of people ask - "What do the Hiplet Ballerinas do day to day? How do they train? Do they still take classes?

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). Currently, members of the Company are conducting a "Hiplet Bootcamp" for the Division I-IV students of CMDC. Through fun and a challenging curriculum, students enhance their ballet technique while exploring the various dance styles of hip hop, modern, contemporary, and more.

This Bootcamp gives our students the ability to learn and train as a Company member, as they dream of one day becoming a Hiplet Ballerina.
