Week 5

Know your Teacher!

Ive been dancing for over 35 years in all aspects of the scene,and have changed and grown,I was never the best breaker or claimed to be.. My town Swindon has all ways regarded HipHop as a truth .. We have always celebrated Djing, Graffiti, Rap and breakin as the best way forward for young people. We did this from the heart and soul.. it was always the people and the vibe around me that kept me going. I love teaching it’s the best space. Before X Factor, BGT, and super dance crews. Here’s a TV programmed I did with Debra Bull who’s one of the best high regarded soloists for the Royal Ballet…x

Hey guys, hope you're all keeping well and haven't forgotten about Hip Hop since my term with you. When I was coming up through my journey I always had different dancers I aspired to and think it's important for you to find your own inspirations. Here's some amazing dancers to get you started off but by all means continue to find your own.
