Hip hop dance is a vibrant and energetic style that emerged in the Bronx, New York, in the late 1970s, rooted in African American and Latino communities. It includes diverse styles like breaking, popping, locking all evolving with hip hop music and culture. Iconic groups such as the Electric Boogaloos and Rock Steady Crew have shaped hip hop into a globally celebrated art form known for its freestyle movements and expressive storytelling.

At the School of Dance, our mission is to help students grow as performing artists and dancers by embracing the rich history and cultural significance of hip hop dance, free from the pressures of competition. Our curriculum focuses on technical skills, performance quality, and the historical context of hip hop dance. We provide a supportive and inclusive environment, allowing dancers to explore their passion and creativity while fostering a deeper appreciation for hip hop and its cultural heritage.

About the branch

The Glendale Branch of the Salt Lake City Public Library system, designed by Architectural Nexus and opened in February of 2015, offers approximately 20,000 square feet of space, making it the largest City Library branch. The branch houses 40,000 circulating materials, public computers, a lounge area, a green screen room, and a grand piano donated through the Mundi Project.

The floor plan of the branch offers open views across the building while creating designated spaces for children's, teen, and adult Library collections. An enclosed activity room easily accommodates various Library programming, and a designated teen space offers a place for young adults to gather, study, and access Library resources and services.

Built with the Glendale neighborhood in mind, the building shape includes a curved form that reaches out and embraces the community while creating an outdoor plaza. Special colored concrete and landscaped designs represent the geographic area along the Jordan River, while the design scheme of interior signage incorporates colors and forms that represent the many ethnic backgrounds of Glendale neighborhood residents.

The branch is easily accessible to area students, being located just one block from Glendale Middle School, Mountain View Elementary School, and the Salt Lake City School District's Community Learning Center.

The diversity of building materials, finishes, and colors of the Glendale Branch reflect the diversity of the Glendale neighborhood, which is one of the most diverse communities in Salt Lake City.
