2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the Hochstein, and the celebration will continue throughout the year.

We also encourage you to visit Hochstein's 100th page for a list of events planned for their centennial.

Hip Hop Dance at Hochstein

100 years ago, the founders of The Hochstein School set out to provide meaningful opportunities for students to learn and express their creativity. The first students studied piano, violin, and music theory. Since then, Hochstein has expanded its offerings to include many different styles of music and dance.

We'll be highlighting stories from The Hochstein School's past and present throughout the year. Here's one from our colleagues from "What's Good Rochester" - Hochstein dance instructor Kyle Steins shares what dance means to him.
