WHAT IS BLACK OPS ACADEMY?

Black Ops Academy is our signature 9-month Hip Hop training program designed for dancers who want to build a strong technical foundation while developing their artistry, musicality, freestyle, performance, and understanding of Hip Hop culture.

With training groups for every level—from beginner to advanced—all dancers are welcome! We're looking for individuals who are committed, coachable, and excited to learn. Academy members train weekly in an environment that emphasizes education, consistency, and growth while becoming part of a community that values accountability, creativity, and a deep respect for Hip Hop.

For the first six months, the focus is entirely on training. Through weekly classes, foundational drills, freestyle, musicality, and cultural education, dancers are immersed in Hip Hop—learning not just how to move, but where the movement comes from and why it matters. Throughout the season, dancers also have opportunities to engage with the wider Hip Hop community through workshops, jams, special events, and guest artists. Checkout our community on IG!

In the final months of the season, all of that training comes together as dancers collaborate to create and perform in the RTF signature year-end production — a celebration of their growth, artistry, and the incredible community they've built together.
