Which is why you can be rest assured the content of your Urban Strides workshop will be challenging enough to keep your students engaged throughout as we build their physical confidence and cater for the range of abilities in your class.
We are focused on developing and nurturing your students self esteem, self confidence and including them in an environment where they are surrounded by passion and positivity. We will unleash your students creativity and give them an opportunity to express themselves in something that will heighten their self esteem whilst doing no harm at all in raising their street cred at school!
Through praise and goal setting Your students will grow in confidence
We have something for every students ability level
Your students will be smiling and laughing for the rest of the day!
A typical workshop usually lasts for an hour. In that time your students will learn the foundations of a Street Dance style of your choice. (Breakin’, Locking, Popping, Hip Hop, or House) They will learn what Street Dance is and the importance of it's history
Some of our teachers have used the workshop and developed it into a whole term of dance and PE lessons. The philosophy of respect, hard work, and self-belief are the underpinnings of all our workshops and your students will continue these beliefs into other areas of their school life.
Our secondary focus is in creating a positive and energized environment whilst having a lot of fun in the process. We have discovered the more relaxed your students are the more likely they are to create their best work.
Our instructors then use individual goal setting techniques to ensure your students are clear on what they need to do to improve to the next stage. With a strong focus on each child fulfilling their true potential.
Myself and Channel 4 needed some Street Dancers for the opening of one of our shows and Urban Strides was our 1st choice. Working with Andy and the Urban Strides team is always a pleasure, he makes the whole process a lot of fun and ensures we get a high quality performance at the end. He put me and my team at ease and before we knew it we were dancing like pro’s! We needed humour in the piece and Andy’s flexible nature meant we could create something funny we thought the audience would enjoy. His creative suggestions and execution was spot on. I would heartily recommend Andy and Urban Strides for any Street Dance experience whether it’s the opening of a TV show, the Royal Variety performance or a weekly class for a total beginner. Urban Strides make it fun, positive and an exciting experience-with their incredible passion and professionalism you can't help but want to get up and dance!
