Specialties
The center for Urban Arts is Phoenix’s première center to learn, practice, and celebrate urban art forms. We aim to showcase the essence of Hip Hop culture as a liberating force in our communities. At the center we teach Hip hop, aerosol art, yoga, house, Zumba, and other styles of movement and art that push the boundaries of urban culture. We take our inspiration from the urban metropolis, and combine the cutting edge artistic practice with innovative style. The center’s vision is to educate students about the history and cultural importance of urban art styles, as well as provide authentic movement techniques to practice. All of our classes use Hip Hop methodology to liberate students and inspire thought and practice rooted in community, justice, and art engagement.

Unlike other studios, The center for Urban Arts teaches the foundations, History, and cultural knowledge of all urban art forms to deepen our student’s respect and appreciation for the styles they practice. We believe that responsible artists are those that understand the historical culture significance of their art form.
