Rikud Studio, located at 607A Vanderbilt Avenue in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, has quickly made a mark by enrolling over 165 students within its first two months. The studio offers 30 weekly classes that focus on street dance styles such as hip-hop, breaking, and house, diverging from the traditional ballet-first training model. Founder Caila Moed aims to provide a more inclusive dance education that recognizes the rich history of various dance forms beyond ballet. Classes emphasize foundational movement concepts and are designed without mirrors, recitals, or ballet instruction. The studio's most popular class, “Littles,” caters to children aged 0 to 3, introducing rhythm through engaging activities. Rikud Studio positions itself as a community hub, with instructors who are active dancers, including master teacher Andrew Carter (known as Dr. Ew), who has extensive experience in hip-hop and breaking. The studio is also expanding its offerings through a summer camp in partnership with HereNow Cultural Space, which will include dance training and cultural history tours. Additionally, Rikud hosts community events such as breaking battles and dance parties, making dance accessible with drop-in class prices ranging from $25 to $45.
