Interview with Iva
What is Hip Hop in Heels?
HIP HOP in HEELS mixes the street moves of hip hop with the grace of jazz, sensuality of burlesque, sex appeal of salsa and expressiveness of African dance. HIP HOP in HEELS is a challenge that makes the body's muscles work while you are developing the ability to dance in heels. It’s a great way to increase self-confidence, improve stability, balance and stage presence, or just to have fun and learn new moves for the party next weekend.
How does Hip Hop in Heels help in shaping the figure? Does it also affect the mood?
HIP HOP in HEELS helps exclusively for improving balance, posture and proper body position. In addition, HIP HOP in HEELS develops finesse, elegance and sensitivity - qualities that are not very common in other styles of hip-hop, but are of utmost importance to the way women look, communicate, move and dance. Needless to say, music always affects the mood positively, but what is really important here is that HIP HOP in HEELS creates a sense of community and reciprocity arising from the fact that the material (steps) are not complicated. Their uniqueness actually stems from the freedom of each individual involved in the process to apply their specific style to the movements.
What muscle groups are primarily exercised during these classes?
HIP HOP in HEELS is a complete workout. However, the largest load is definitely on the rear leg muscles (femoral triceps), the calves and the quadriceps. HIP HOP in HEELS also works the buttocks (glutes), thus shaping and tightening the butt. HIP HOP in HEELS helps balance the body by simply mobilizing the entire spinal structure and abdominal muscles. Of course, the hands also perform much of the movements in this style which works well for the biceps and triceps.
How long are the HIP HOP in HEELS classes?
The class is 1 hour and 15 minutes long. Warming up and toning the body usually takes about half an hour at the beginning, followed by learning and exercising the choreography for another half an hour and finally closing with cool down and stretching.
Why should we dance in high heels?
Dancing in high heels lengthens the muscles, improves self-confidence and mental attitude and make us feel much sexier and calm about the way our bodies look.
How long have you been doing Hip Hop in Heels?
I started doing HIP HOP in HEELS back in 2007 when I was living in New York. I had the greatest fortune of taking classes at world-renowned Broadway Dance Center, Ballet Arts and Alvin Ailey Studios.
