Hip Hop to Help Reviews 

I joined East London Dance’s free Hip Hop Foundation workshop on 12 July 2026, and it was my very first dance class.

My pain management team advised me to keep stretching and stay active, so I decided to give dance a try. I arrived feeling shy and nervous because I didn’t know how to dance—I just love music.

From the moment I walked in, everyone made me feel welcome. The staff, volunteers, and brilliant dance instructors created such a friendly, supportive, and encouraging atmosphere that I quickly felt at ease.

The classes were so much fun. I did my best, moved my body with joy, burned plenty of calories, and, most importantly, forgot about my pain, stress, and worries for a while. It reminded me that movement can be healing as well as enjoyable.

I was also lucky enough to win the referral prize, which included lovely goodies, a T-shirt, and a month’s free class pass. That was such a wonderful surprise and made the experience even more special.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire hip hop community and everyone at East London Dance for making this opportunity possible. Your kindness, generosity, and support make a real difference, especially for people like me who live with chronic pain and mental health challenges. I truly appreciate everything you do and would highly recommend these workshops to anyone, whether you’re an experienced dancer or a complete beginner like me.

I attended day of dance . Honestly the impact it makes on society is amazing, it’s incredible to get to attend free dance classes. It’s helps people to achieve the dreams, and everyone was so welcoming and supportive. Thank you everyone for making this possible ♥️

I really enjoyed the class and help to go over the basics again, the teacher was great. Also its amazing that classes like this is able to be put on without payment when the dance industry can be very expensive and not always feasible at times so appreciate these clases. Everyone was very friendly and informative, look forward to the next one!!!

I can't recommend these classes highly enough, they are such great quality and the team is super supportive and helpful. I love the classes so much and the environment is always supportive, they make dance classes more accessible for someone like me who can't always access certain styles. I would highly recommend to anyone!

Fun and friendly, would definitely recommend it to anyone specially to beginners as they support you a lot.

The crew are great always on hand when you get to the venue. They make classes available to those that either can’t afford to go or would like try a certain style of dance without having to commit. They bring in great instructors. The vibes in the classes are absolutely off the hook. They make everyone welcome from beginner to advanced. If you haven’t danced before or you’re looking to try a style of dance that you’ve never done before this is for you. Looking forward to the next one :-)

Really amazing choice of the teacher, nice staff, great marketing!

Amazing class cannot wait to attend another

very welcoming and had such a fun time

This is my second time to do hip hop with Hip Hop to Help on 2 March 2026. It has always been fun and you learn something each time. The staff are so welcoming and you can feel their positive vibes all throughout the session. The guest instructor (Louis Lewinson) was also nice and his choreography was fire. He broke down the steps even to the latecomers to make sure that they weren’t left out. I had a great time (in fact all those who came) and thank you team for organising! 🙂

Had a very nice and enlightening experience during the class.

An amazing class! Very well organised and excellent teaching!

Very fun and great atmosphere! Friendly and helpful staff, would definitely recommend!

The class was very well taught very clear and inclusive for all ranges and ages. I loved it and can’t recommend enough. I felt great after the class was buzzing with achievement and joy - everyone is so friendly too

Easy to deal with, welcoming, friendly atmosphere 😃

The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, particularly for my friend who has learning challenges. The instructor provided great support to everyone, regardless of their skill level. While the routine felt a tad quick, I believe that's more due to my inexperience and age.

Very well organised and clear signposts to the studio.
Thank you for providing this opportunity to try different dance styles, with a variety of choreographers, in wonderful dance studio locations.
Thank you 💜

This charity is fantastic because it provides me with the opportunity to participate in dance classes that I usually couldn't afford or might find too challenging. The instructors are amazing at simplifying the lessons, making them suitable for everyone, regardless of age or skill level. I've taken part in numerous sessions, ranging from dancehall to hip hop and Brazilian funk, and I've enjoyed every single one. The locations are always convenient as well. I wholeheartedly suggest giving one of their classes a shot.

The vibes, welcoming staff and generally friendly people come to the classes.
