Breaking Better

Breakdance classes and urban music lessons for all ages

This is a hi-energy spectacular free-style dance. Your original hip hop dance, you'll learn a range of steps & moves: basic top rock steps; six step; some popping & locking moves right thru to power moves (back spins, head spins etc).

However, you don't need any previous experience to start and obviously nobody expects you go straight to power moves! It's up to you how far you take it.

If you have experience in gymnastics that's a bonus but it's not absolutely necessary.

You'll be taken through a good warm up and then shown some basic moves to get you started. Because it's a freestyle dance, you don't work on a choreographed piece but you build up a vocabulary of moves to create your own style and dance. I rotate round people in the class working individually or with 2-3 people at a time and then leave you to practice while he moves on to the next person /group.

There is no one too young or too old to learn this amazing style of dance!

WHAT TO WEAR?

Trackies, baggy jeans or combats; T-shirts, trainers etc. (please bring a clean pair of trainers which you don't use for outdoors - to keep the floor clean for the next class)

We recommend that you get some knee & elbow pads - go for the volley ball variety which are soft & flexible - available from good sports shops.
