Webinars

Teaching Hip Hop 2026 (7).png

This is a new subscription designed to guide Hip Hop teachers through the entire 2026–2027 school year, month by month, in real time. Whether you use a Comix Method curriculum, your own curriculum, or no formal curriculum at all, this webinar series gives you a knowledgeable resource to help you understand what you should be teaching, why you are teaching it, and how to approach each stage of the year.

​

Each month focuses on the technique, vocabulary, concepts, and lessons that should be incorporated at that point in the school year. We will break down the month's material(For beginner, intermediate, and advanced curriculums), discuss how it can be taught, address common questions, and provide guidance for putting the material into practice with your students.

​

This is also a place for teachers to ask questions in real time. Questions do not have to be limited to that month's topic or even to the curriculum. If you are stuck on a vocabulary term, unsure how to teach a particular movement, need help understanding a lesson, or simply want another perspective on something happening in your classroom, you can bring it to the discussion.

​

You don't have to participate every time. You can simply sit in, listen, take notes, and learn from the conversation. The goal is to give teachers an ongoing opportunity for training, clarification, discussion, and professional development throughout the school year.

​

Think of it as a year long mentorship for your Hip Hop program, following the rhythm of the school year instead of giving you a curriculum and leaving you on your own.

The series airs live on the first Wednesday of every month for two hours. Every subscriber receives access to both the live course and the recording, so you can participate live when possible and return to the material whenever you need it.

​

This is your companion for the entire 2026–2027 school year.

The Comix Method training and certification has given me the confidence and skills to teach a meaningful Hip Hop class that I originally wasn’t sure about teaching. My students are loving learning the history and “why” behind each step and I’m loving imparting the knowledge I’ve learned.

        We were able to host John recently in our studio for two student workshops divided by ages, an adult class and a teacher training. I had followed him on social media and had always been impressed by his level of knowledge and passion to teach REAL hip hop. We were blown away by his knowledge once we met him in person and his training-in addition to his curriculum-has shaped our hip hop program in our studio! I highly recommend using John as a resource however you can, whether it is his curriculum or a live session. He is truly one of the best out there!

        I had John out to my studio over the summer for teacher training. I am so glad that I had more than just my hip hop teachers in the room as his tips, exercises and approaches can be used in all genres. They are true teaching tools. John gives a true foundation and education on hip hop culture and brings you back to where it comes from and the why. His personality is infectious and his passion for not only his art  but educating others is evident. He has made himself available  to be a mentor to one of my newer staff members and we have purchased his curriculum for our studio. I can't say enough about him except he is the real deal.

     John Comix Barrella has visited our studio three times since 2018 and he has inspired, educated and infused excitement into our hip hop programs.  Not only does he deliver memorable and current class work, he is authentic.  He studies so he can share and inspire with so much knowledge.  Our hip hop instructor uses his teaching material to continue to develop a strong and growing program at our studio.  After year one, our dancers looked forward to learning new styles that were presented with so much detail that they could retain the information and build on John's workshop visit throughout the season.
