Welcome to Funk Lab!

While we remain the area’s first and only hip hop dance school, we have grown to include alternate arts education such as Graffiti and DJ.

The faculty are the heart and soul of Funk Lab. Each faculty member is fresh and still performing. The Funk Lab only hires the best dancers and teachers in the Dayton region. We are the cream of the crop in hip-hop. The Funk Lab is committed to providing quality dance education to its students and therefore provides its teachers with exceptional salaries and great benefits including INTENSE out of state trainings.
