  5. Alex aka Mechanikool P Says:

    Hey hey hey…..Want can I say? Just refleecting on the wicked time I’ve also had teaching at this years HHDS08. High Wycombe….it’s a standard procedure!!! Y’all be onnit like SONIC!!! Just hungry to eat eat eat more knowledge! Y’all suprise me the way y’all took to the SPOUNCH concept. I loved Dickson suprising me with a hot beat all da time. But the circle jam at the end…y’all smacked it!!! 40mins non stop?!! Dat’s the shizzle i’m talkin bout!!!!!
    Liverpool….I love the city! The students came correct…with an open mind and really pushed themselves. My experience teaching my Liverpool connects have made me think about how I’ll develop my teaching even further. I really enjoyed the lunchtime hang outs n chats. Trust Liverpool, y’all need to tell ur friends about this cos URBAN STRIDES r coming for u!!! Standard procedure, blad!!!!

    Mechanikool says stay popping!!!!

  7. Greg Sheffield Says:

    if i could sum up Hip Hop Don’t Stop in a few words, I simply couldn’t do it! They were the two best weeks of my life and I loved it! From “getting to work” with JP to “feelin the funk” with Andy, I enjoyed it more and more as the weeks went by! Big love and thanks to Andy for organising this incredible event, and of course we can’t forget the main lady Alison for making it all happen! Urban Strides Fam all day every day represent! Now, GET TO WORK! :D love Greg :) x

    Hello Andy. How are you? I’m GUTTED that i couldn’t make it to ‘Hip Hop don’t stop’ and i know i haven’t been at saturday inter’s recently. But to be honest it’s a bit of a treck to get up there every saturday but i really don’t want to stop Urban strides. :/ Anyway, hopefully see you soon. Can’t wait to get back to dancing (:
    Take care. Lovelovelove.

  24. Ann Smith (Mum of Beno and Theo Smith) Says:

    Hi Andy
    Creative director here!!
    Thanks so much for such a great week for Theo and his friends. He loved it. It was so good to see them all at the end of week circle - what fun everyone was having. It was contagious - even us Mums could “feel the vibe”!
    Wanted to say to any parents worried about letting their own kids get involved in the hip-hop scene through Urban Strides, that they should not worry. It is one of the most exhilarating, energising, challenging and fun activities that my boys have ever taken part in. There is no swearing, no aggression, no bad feelings. Everyone is encouraged to achieve by just feeling the music and lettting themselves move to it. There can be few activities where the talented, exceptional, senior or more experienced allow those who are new or young or less gifted to shine at their own level. Indeed it seems they are actively encouraged to participate - to show their own moves to the group. Noone is humiliated, laughed at or made to feel small. I saw all kids walking out of there looking 10ft tall! Forget all you have ever thought about hip-hop and hoodies - this is what it is to be young, to have fun and to be safe. Andy - why oh why, can’t you start a class for us 40-something Mums!!!! I’m sure I could pop and lock with the best of them! (Yeah right, Mum - Beno & Theo) Love you for what you give to the kids - thanks. Ann xxx

  29. Cat Says:

    Absolutely LOVED hiphopdon’tstop - it was wicked how it wasn’t all about learning the routines but concentrating on the way you’re feeling the music when delivering them and in creating your own style too! All the instructors are absolute legends and taught me so much, I really can’t believe how much of a difference 5 days can make to dancing with confidence- Defo coming bk next year for more, with 2 friends :D

    Much love, Cat xxxxx

  38. Greg Sheffield Says:

    For my third post since HHDS began :D just wanna say, I used to think that locking was one of the hardest Hip Hop styles around, and yet in 3-4 hours of locking technique and moves, I can freestyle with ease. Thank you Andy, for spreading to us the seeds of Hip Hop enlightenment and teaching us to listen to the moosic, play with rythm, use variations, and above all, lock it out like a pro. Nuff love still :D Greg x x

  39. Gemma Says:

  51. Jiri Says:

    Hi Andy,

    You wanted some feedback on the last term so here it goes, You might want to sit down….. just kidding.
    This last term was amazing, we may not have done to much of waving, poping, locking etc but you really open up are eyes to the possibilities or hip hop freestyle. The LSD formula was especially helpfull (Level,speed,directions) and gave us plenty to work on over the summer. Dancing is really like a drug the more u give us the more we want.

    Because of you i feel like i really understand music and find really hard not to move to it whatever is on. In fact even when i am in the gym as a cardio i do rope skipping mixed up with a some crazy footwork,people probably think i completely lost it.

    In september it will be 2 years of taking your classes and if i was ever to leave UK this is what i would probably miss most.
    I will also try to do the intermediate class in Aylesbury so hopefully there will be so space left, simply because i’d like to take it to a next level. If i went from nothing to being what i am today who knows what will happen in another 2years.

    Good luck with Hip Hop don’t stop i bet it will be awesome and thanks to you and all the people that help you with the party as well as the ones running urban strides you are doing an amazing job.

    Dry your eyes mate…..

    See you in September

    Jiri ( The one and only)

    P.S. Hope you are doing MK Raw again because last year it kick ass.

  52. Stacey lou Says:

    Hey andy.

    Hey andy,

    I’m hoping this message gets to you i have spent the last hour on the laptop on your website trying to leave messages- i might just be a little slow where computers are concerned.
    I read some message sthat you were at ousedale school today how cool i teach there too on a wednesday i teach 4-9 year olds musical theatre.
    I’m so glad i came back to class today i feel really inspired when i’m there and learn so much in such a short space of time. It’s a shame the lessons dont go on longer. Some on the show reels you have on this site are fooking awesome aswell that one with you and the kid wearing the red berret is the bomb.
    Can you forward me newsletters noe - markwithaspark@hotmail.co.uk

    I’m a keen dancer and you have really got me inspired to do big things! It was unlike any dance I have done before!
    ’segments’ HAHA
    I do hip-hop and I was really annoyed that I couldn’t do body waves! BUT now I can and It’s great!
    Just Thanks…
    You have Been a real inspiration to me…and give me the motivation to achieve my goals.
    Oh Yes And….I thought I recognised you from somewhere….I already have one of your dvd’s….
    Urban Dance Explosion…It’s GREAT
    Just In Case You Don’t remember me I was the bouncy one right at the front and you ‘love my tens’
    Thanks Again
    Bella xxxx

    i like 2 dance…i really do, but sometimes my feet take over and i feel out of control (kinda freaky don’t ya think?) i then go all tingly like a christmas tree and my legs rub together and start to smell like cheese ( brie i think). as an experianced dancer i wondered if once a upon a time you hav also expericned this and therefore have cream (chaffing cream i think youl find) that you could hook me up with?
    much appreciated x

  83. Kate Says:

    Thank you so much for the talk you did at Tring school the other day, as everyone else has said it was very inspirational.

    Hiya Andy,

    Your talk today was inspirational and i took in everything you said. Ive always dreamed of being a professional musician with my band, were called ‘Shining Colours’ and it would be great if youd check out our myspace etc. This is me asking for something like you said today, and all those pictures of you dancing at Glastombury were amazing. Your talk was great and I got to see your awesome van too which was a plus. I want one now. I took in everything you said and I now have a renewed focus too.

    Thanks for everything youve done and well done for the talk today.

    Owen Roach

    Hello

    Thanks for coming to tring school today and talking to us about your success in life. It has taught me a lot, including how to dream and work hard at it and also how to ask if you would like something otherwise you won’t get it. Would it be possible if I could have a free urban strides hoody?

    Thanks xxx

  96. Eamonn Borg-Neal Says:

    Hey,

    Thanks for the talk today, much appreciated. I myself am looking to get best at what I do and what you said connected to me and made me realise that I probably do have to get my ass out of bed if ever I want something to happen.
    Will be looking to go to the classes, will be great to do.
    Another thanks for the dvd, I did ask nicely for it, and I shall watch it this week once I do all these other activities this week
    Thansk again for coming in!

    Eamonn Borg-Neal

  97. Clare Says:

    heyloo, i hope im not too late…!?
    Andy; you’re talk today was abfab!! every young person should hear it. It it helped me realise that boring old adults and thier limited views and low expectances on “The Younger Genreation” are just that!
    I did already plan to blow people’s minds away in some form of creativity - see you at the top! :D
    thanks again xx
    (grr - i wish there was a better word than thank-you! it was getting boring being the only idealistic optimist!!)

  98. Tom Hudson Says:

    hey, this is a message for Andy who came to talk to the 6th form at Tring on their activities week..
    thank you very much for coming and talking about what you do, it has helped me focus on what I want to achieve and that is being a performer/entertainer. my main interests are drama and music (preferably guitar) I was the tall ginger guy who sat at the front wearing a coat. Your talk helped me realize how interested in dancing I am.

  101. Charlotte Verney and Emma Stivey Says:

    Hay,
    your talk today was well goood! It made us see that anything is possible and that we have to work hard to reach our goals! Thanks for making us realise that “If you dont ask, you wont get”…can we please have two free hoodys? Hehe

  107. Amy-Louise Taylor Says:

    Hey Andy!
    Thanks for coming to speak to us again today at Brunel, both of your speeches have made me even more determined to become a writer/director (not really specific, but at least I kind of know where I want to go). Your dancers were amazing; they’re really great at what they do!

    I hope this isn’t the last we hear of you - even though the Urban Scholars programme has finished, I know a whole school that needs inspiring!
    So, what do I have to do to get you to visit us?

    Thanks again and take care,
    Amy-Louise

  189. Jiri Says:

    Hi Andy,

    Do i miss the classes, that is so not fair having such a long break but at least i thought i’ll have a chance to work on my freestyle and wanted to finally master gliding. Unfortunately my gym decided to drop the bomb on me this sunday. So now on i can no longer use the studio(which i’ve been using for the last year every sunday) because of some health&safety crap. This really got me upset and left me with nowhere to train, since my flat is really small for practice. I spoke to some managers there and they seemed quite brainwashed, it is like talking to a wall. What is the purpose of gym if they don’t encourage you to stay active. Not sure where i going to train now but hopefully i figure out something, hope your bank holiday weekend was better than mine. See u next time….

  218. Sandra Says:

    Can’t believe I’m saying this (well actually I can!) You were the BEST act at Breakin Convention last night.
    Top 9 from Russia were pretty good too but your original choreography, variety of your act and the passion with which it was delivered was immense and that is why you got the most amazing reaction from the crowd.

If you could help me out that would be greatly appreciated…thanks guys!!!
