The NEXT Episode is a youth hip hop dance crew, where young dancers learn hip hop technique, musicality, and the culture behind the movement not just choreography. Along with dance training, dancers learn professionalism, discipline, and how to show up in real rehearsal and performance spaces, while building confidence and making connections in the dance community

Our directors, Stephanie Giang and Brandon Raphael, are professional dancers who, together, have experienced every level of the dance world. They’ve competed at some of the most prestigious competitions, such as Body Rock, Vibe, and World of Dance; battled in top events like Red Bull and Ghetto Styles; toured internationally; and performed in major stage and television productions, including TFC’s It’s Showtime and Tiësto’s “Boom” music video. Both have also been cast members of the JABBAWOCKEEZ. Their goal is to pass the knowledge and perspective gained from those experiences on to the next generation.

Crew members can expect:

• Structured weekly training with directors & instructors

• Hip hop technique, drills, and conditioning

• Rhythm, musicality, & freestyle development

• Choreography and performance training

• Team building, discipline, and professionalism

• Preparation for competitions & showcases

• Media training & dance video projects

• Support & mentorship from The Most DOPE Fam and our dance family
