The workshop leaders
Our break-dance tutors have been "breaking" for a number of years as part of groups, crews and bands as well as providing training and tuition to a variety of organisations and people groups.
Our break-dance coaches have competed in competitions as well as performed in hundreds of shows across the world. They are regularly teaching their skills to youth country-wide.
This workshop
This workshop contains "demonstration" from professional break-dancers as well as a great deal of practical hands on participation. A thorough warm up through fun activities kicks things off before a variety of break-dance moves are taught and incorporated into a full routine. A highlight of this workshop is "The Circle" when participants create a ring and take it in turns to go into the centre and "bust a move". This is the chance to impress your friends and impress yourself as you show off your new skills. With great tunes and gravity-defying moves, this workshop is an intensely fun day.
