About this studio
Haags HipHop Centrum (H3C) is the place in Den Haag where you learn and practise all four elements of hip-hop culture: breakdance, DJing, rapping and graffiti. The centre runs classes at different levels throughout the week, from absolute beginners through to advanced dancers, with dedicated kids' programmes and adult classes. You can take lessons, use the space to freestyle train, or simply come to hang out.
The weekly schedule is extensive. Breakdance classes run at multiple levels: Break Kids (Wednesdays 15:30–16:30), Break Beginners (Wednesdays 16:30–17:30), Break Intermediate (Tuesdays 18:30–19:30 and Wednesdays 17:30–18:30), Break Advanced (Wednesdays 18:30–19:30) and Break Adults (Thursdays 20:00–21:00). Other styles include Locking (Tuesdays 19:30–21:00), Popping (Fridays 19:00–20:00), House Dance (Fridays 18:00–21:00), Soul Dance (Thursdays 19:00–20:00) and Hip-Hop Freestyle (Thursdays 20:00–22:00). DJing sits at the heart of the programme too: DJ Class (Tuesdays 17:30–18:30) and Vinyl DJ Lessons (Tuesdays 19:00–20:00) teach production and technique. Rap (Tuesdays 17:00–18:00), Hip-Hop Choreo (Mondays 19:30–20:30) and Hip-Hop Kids (Wednesdays 16:00–17:00) round out the core offer. Free training sessions run throughout the week, and special family classes like Heavy Hitters Family (Wednesdays 19:30–22:30) and Plan of Attack (Thursdays 17:00–20:00) encourage group participation.
The centre hosts regular jam sessions and masterclasses outside the studio. The Groove Get Down series features guest instructors and DJs in free public sessions at Amare kunstenplein. Recent events have included workshops on Popping with Wassim and DJ Flying Ryan, and hip-hop jam sessions. H3C also runs paid masterclasses: a recent two-hour session with b-boy Thesis from Fresh Descendants and Breaking Bad cost €20, with all levels welcome.
H3C explicitly positions itself as a place where beginners can walk in and grow into respected artists capable of performing at major venues like Parkpop or 't Paard. The studio offers a free trial lesson to new students. Birthday parties are available. The space has all the facilities needed to practise hip-hop culture professionally and offers room to relax between classes.
