About hip hop & breaking at WE DANCE
Our street dance classes cover hip hop and breaking for children aged 7 to 15. This term there are four weekly classes on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, going from Hip Hop Level 1-2 up to Hip Hop Level 3.
Breaking is taught by Daniel. He has been a b-boy for more than ten years, has competed at national level, and also teaches hip hop and freestyle. Kayla Joseph teaches the Wednesday and Thursday hip hop classes and the Hip Hop Troupe.
Dancers from the regular classes may be invited into the Hip Hop Troupe, which takes part in Auckland dance competitions. The easiest way to start is to book a trial class, and the teacher will help place your child in the right level.
