All levels welcome. A fun, supportive room led by a professional bboy who has been breaking since childhood.
Built on real foundations
Breaking is the original hip hop dance, and it is now an Olympic sport. Dancers learn the way bboys and bgirls have always learned: top rocks first, then footwork, then freezes, then the strength and control behind power moves.
Every class mixes technique with time to explore, so kids build coordination, strength and musicality while they figure out what their own style looks like.
No experience needed. If your kid spins on the living room floor, this is their class.
What to expect
Fifty minutes, once a week, always moving:
- Warm up and drills Strength, flexibility and the basic shapes that keep breaking safe: wrists, shoulders, core.
- Technique Top rocks, six-step, CCs, baby freeze and on from there. One new piece each week, built on the last.
- Cyphers and creativity Dancers take turns in the circle, trade moves and learn to freestyle to the beat.
- Coach Josh Bboy HangThyme has trained, taught and performed in breaking since childhood and teaches with the “each one teach one” mindset.
Good to know
- Who it is for Girls and boys ages 8 and up, from total beginners to kids who already break at home.
- What to wear Loose athletic clothes, clean sneakers, and a beanie or cap for head work. Long sleeves and pants help with floor moves.
- Is it safe? Progressions are step by step. Nobody attempts a move before they have the strength and the shape for it.
- Beyond the class Dancers who catch the bug can grow into C3’s teams and performances.
