Boston is an animated student town that is known to be one of the most popular destinations in the United States. This economic and cultural centre of New England does not resemble other American metropolises; the city’s colonial architecture remains intact, complete with pedestrian streets and bike lanes. The cultural lifestyle, the presence of prestigious universities, the festivals, the nightlife and the charm of the architecture attracts students from all over the US and the entire world.

The United States is the birthplace of Hip-Hop. This genre of dance is considered to be a cultural movement born in an urban environment and Boston played a significant role in its development. Participants of this programme will start with a brief introduction of the Hip-Hop culture, followed by opportunities to learn and perfect the dance themselves. The instructors are qualified, professional dancers who are used to working with students from a broad range of levels (beginner to advanced). The programme ends with a dance recital and all participants will receive a DVD of their performance. Classes take place in modern facilities near the university.
