The Hip-Hop Dance Conservatory (HDC) is a not-for-profit organization and the only conservatory for hip-hop dance in the world. HDC trains students year-round in the different styles of hip-hop dance (popping, locking, and breaking, etc.) as well as in academics related to both hip-hop culture and dance, such as Anatomy and Physiology, Dance Kinesiology, and Hip-Hop History. In addition to the curriculum, HDC students also comprise the conservatory's performing repertory troupe.
