Street Dance Classes

I really enjoy Street Feet Dance, it’s a great way to keep fit, meet new people and learn some funky moves. Great music and choreography and it’s a really friendly environment! And let’s not forget great value for money :) Alanna, 25.

Mini Feet (Ages 3-6)

These classes were created due to a demand in the area for Street Dance classes for children under the age of 7. These classes provide children with the necessary skills that form the foundations of Street Dance, incorporating basic steps and movements into fun sessions, aimed at developing the children’s sense of rhythm, style and confidence. Classes are paid for on a half-term basis and trial sessions can be booked at a low cost.

I have two children that attend Street Feet Dance classes – a 4 year old and a 7 year old. They both really enjoy coming and learning the routines – they have made lots of new friends and it has been a great confidence builder for my 7 year old and a good energy burning activity for my hyper 4 year old! I would recommend it to any parent. Tina (parent).

LiL Street Feet (Ages 7-11)

These classes are fun and energetic, with children learning steps and movements as part of a choreographed routine as well as having opportunities to work on their own freestyle and choreography skills. This age group have regular opportunities to perform in a variety of settings throughout the year. IDTA medal tests are also available for those who would like to take examinations in Street Dance. Classes are paid for on a half-term basis and trial sessions can be booked at a low cost.

I like the dance routines here – it is awesome and fun. I liked doing the Flashmob in Reading in front of loads of people. These classes have made me more confident.

Urban Choreography (Adults/Teens)

The Street Feet Dance classes are great fun, you get to meet new people and get fit at the same time! The dance routines are really easy to learn as Cerys breaks it down step by step. You get a real sense of achievement when you have learnt a dance routine all the way through! Christine, 28.

These classes are separated into two groups – classes for young people of secondary school age and classes for adults aged 16+. The aim of these classes is to provide Street Dance tuition in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Regular (optional) performance opportunities are provided for both groups.

Joining Street Feet Dance is a brilliant experience, not only do you learn to Street Dance, it is also a brilliant way to keep fit and meet new people. We have a brilliant teacher with amazing choreography and music!! I am really glad I found Street Feet Dance and look forward to going every week!!

Break Dance Classes

Break Dance is really good fun and a brilliant way to get fit and build up upper body and core strength. It's a friendly class open to all and great value for money. Alanna, 25

Break Dancing, often referred to as ‘B-Boying’, is a popular form of Street Dance that was created through the Hip Hop culture among African Americans and in New York.

If you’re like me and get bored in the gym, Break Dancing is an awesome way to increase core strength and stay in shape. With CRB checked trainers and a class of all ages, if you’re going to learn a new skill this year then give Break Dancing a shot!
Jay, 25

Break dance classes are available for all ages and are suitable for beginners. Whether you are an aspiring B-Boy or B-Girl or just want to learn a new skill, an insured and CRB checked professional Break Dance instructor will introduce you to the origins of Break Dance and take you through the following:


Toprock
A string of steps performed from a standing position.

Footwork
A movement on the floor with the hands supporting the dancer as much as the feet.

Freeze –
A suspension off the ground using upper body strength to emphasise a beat in the music.

Power Moves –
Acrobatic moves requiring momentum, speed and strength.

Break Dance is a fantastic way to keep fit and it’s a great way to meet new people. We have a brilliant teacher who explains everything step by step and makes it fun and easy to learn. I would recommend it to anyone.
