Danzversity Youth Hip Hop Programs has 2+ years of community in Austin and is led by Founder and Creative Director Jaymie O. Howard. The stated mission is to provide humans with more than just dance classes, offering a unique experience where participants grow both mentally and physically as humans and dancers. The program uses the Elemental Dance Method™ curriculum with four progressive elements called Earth (foundation), Air (creativity), Water (emotion), and Fire (mastery), and every class begins with a Culture Drop, which is a brief lesson on Hip Hop history and culture. Youth programming includes four age groups, structured progression, and showcase performances, and there is a parent-and-me Root Runners program for ages 2–4. The program states that it focuses on culture, not competition, is rooted in Hip Hop culture, and emphasizes community over competition, with no experience or audition required and a free trial class available for all new students.
Danzversity Youth Hip Hop Programs notes that it is a safe, inclusive space for every body and describes itself as a holistic movement experience. It has a 5.0 Google rating and is described as “Austin’s Best Rated.” Community involvement includes bringing the Elemental Dance Method™ to Title I schools through its after-school program, hosting (You)nity Nights and family classes, and maintaining an Ecologi partnership that plants trees with every enrollment, with 600+ trees planted and counting. The program offers a member portal where families can track a student’s path through the four Elements, keep a weekly streak, earn badges, check the schedule, and manage billing, and it states “Hablamos español.”
Parent reviews describe Danzversity as a “happy place” that “feels like home,” and say that Jaymie has created a space for free expression and collaborative art where kids feel like equal partners in learning. Other parent feedback describes the space as safe and creative, where a child is accepted, loved, and encouraged to express themselves without judgment, and an adult student notes that adult dance classes feel like more than a dance class and offer a chance to tap into creativity in a safe, non-judgmental space.
