Meet the teachers

Four teachers share the week, and each one teaches more than one class.

    Owner and lead teacher, popping

    Saniya teaches the popping classes and opened Popping Studio so teens in Upper Darby would have a room that takes their style seriously. She still takes class every week, and she is the one who answers the studio phone on Saturday mornings.

    Joey teaches the hip hop foundations and the choreography lab. He builds each session's routine in the room with the dancers, so the moves are ones they chose.
