Groovsters
This program is the brain-child of dynamic duo Samson Smith and Chantal Curmi. They co-founded this program to teach the youngsters what they are incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about: Hip Hop, Breaking and performing. This is the only Street dance program that teaches the ever-evolving form of underground art - authentic hip hop and Breaking. Hip-hop is not just any other dance-form that can be learned from counting the steps. Authentic hip-hop dance requires the knowledge of its culture, expressions, understanding of beats, lyrical game, and ability to send a collective message through dance. We don’t only teach hip-hop and breaking through our program though, we also teach students to be socially confident, resilient and bold leaders who embrace a growth mindset and positively develop skills to succeed in and outside of their studio. Dance and music plays a significant role in early social development and our program helps students to reach each milestone with confidence."
