Breaking Classes

Rhythm, energy & tradition

Discover the World of Break Dancing

At Dance House Productions, our breakdancing classes (also known as breaking) bring the energy, creativity, and athleticism of hip hop culture to life. Designed for dancers of all levels, our classes focus on foundational moves like top rocks, footwork, freezes, and power moves—while also encouraging students to develop their own unique style. Whether your child dreams of spinning on their head or just wants a high-energy outlet, breaking builds strength, coordination, and confidence in a fun, supportive environment.

Led by an experienced instructor who understand the rhythm and roots of the art form, our breakdance program blends technique and self-expression. Students not only learn cool moves—they also gain respect for the culture, discipline in practice, and pride in their progress. Classes are structured, exciting, and perfect for boys and girls looking to move, groove, and grow.
