Philly is a legendary city for hip hop and street dance culture. There is undoubtedly a Philly way, a Philly style. No one Locks like Philly Lockers, predominantly thanks to the contributions of the Hood Lockers. Philly Hip Hop has an uncanny way of combining multiple languages with raw, yet clear expression. Before there was the term All Styles, Philly Hip Hop dancers embodied all street dance languages, getting busy with backrocks, going airborne and breaking it down with undeniable groove. When it comes to House, we have the knowledge and language of New York while reflecting our own Philly OGs and the essence of our club history. 

For 12 weeks this summer, UMA will feature leaders in Philly's street dance scene, covering locking, house and hip hop.  These workshops are directed by Marcus 'Epic' Tucker. Similar to the battle program, Marcus, will form a bridge between students and Philly street dance luminaries. Whereas the battle program was getting students geared up to compete. This workshop will help further develop technique, personal style and undoubtedly help participants to have deeper rooting in Philly street dance history and culture.

 The series launches with Marcus and Dru, offering insights into Locking and Hood Locking. For house, we are featuring Josh 'Peazy' Polk. For Hip Hop and deep insight into Philly culture, we are featuring Gate Tha Monster and  Phil "J.I.P. THE RULER " Cuttino Jr.

This summer continue to level up at UMA by studying with Philly's HIp Hop Heroes. ​
