Yo yo

Hope your cool, thought we’d put this up. It’s from our performance at the 02 arena during our arena tour.  It’s a nice mix of krumpin and funk plus our favourite piece of the moment the William Tell Overture. We really enjoyed performing it and the response we got was really cool. Let us know what you think, drop a comment below.

Big Luv

Hope you liked it let us know what your thinking!

wow. Every time we have this event we think it can’t get any better but scheeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!! this one was all about freestyling and circles, and what an incredible difference everyone made.  Some of the urban Strides and hip Hop Don’t Stop fam went on some proper deep journeys.  All of the stories were told in the circles, some of which we have on video some of which we will keep in our minds our memories and our hearts. The event was definantely the most soulful and expressive we have had with so many people in the circles and freestyling all around the campus.  I feel so proud to be a part of the family everyone made it such an incredible event.  if you were there and you felt the same hit me up and let me know how it felt, don’t be afraid to say how you really felt cos through our own expression of our personal journey others can gain great strength and knowledge, say what you feel, hit us up with a comment below on your personal thoughts, feelings and vibe of Hip Hop Don’t Stop.

Big luv

what did you get out of it, hit us up! x

Woop woop!!!

What can I say this week has been next level! The difference in your levels of dance has been awesome even after 3 days I could see a massive improvement, that is very impressive given the short space of time you should be v. proud of yourselves.  The level of real authentic funk has been dope, all the instructors have been so impressed at your brilliant attitudes and what a pleasure it has been to share their knowledge with you, nice work! I would love to hear what you guys think of the week so far, hit me up and let me know what has been your highlights of the week and what you feel has been most beneficial to your development.

Big big Hip Hop don’t Stop Love, you guys rock!

p.s. you can drop a comment below….Spounch!

I literally can’t wait!

This is it, the summer event of the year. I am so excited about hip hop dont stop this year we just confirmed some new instructors plus I just got off the phone with the usual suspects, JP, Mekanikool and sasha, + Dickson can’t wait to see you all again.  Jp wanted you to know that he will “smash da place” Just thought I’d pass that on! Dickson has new words for us, 08 was all about spounch but he promises he is bringing the noise.  This year will better than ever we are switching venues so you will have more room, and more time in each class, so you can interact even more with the teachers after each class.

The atmosphere is dope and everyone is welcome. its all here http://www.urbanstrides.com/hhdsinfo.php

What can I say, straight nasty.

We performed on Tuesday and Wednesday at breakin convention and had so much fun.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who came and supported, everyone that went seemed to have a ball.  It’s so important for us as an Urban Strides community to support as many hip hop and street dance cultural events as possible, it’s our community after all and the peeps at breakin convention put it on for people like you and me so it’s vital we reprrresssseeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnttttttt!  It was an incredibly inspirational couple of days, working with Jonzi, and having some very insightful and deep discussions with Salah and Ken Swift made it an even more fullfilling experience.  Those of you who came to the after party, realised that it was next level, the world popping champion jamming with the 05 bboy crew of the year alongside the living legends from the 7 gems was so dope I cant tell you.  I cant imagine High wycombe are going to see a jam like that for a very long time!  Those of you who couldnt make it here is our performance on the wednesday of the William Tell Overture. If you came to breakin convention let us know what night you came and what you thought, let us know your highlights. If you weren’t there let us know what you thought of the new piece in the video below you know I would love to hear what you really think. 

big love

Yo Yo, last night we had a wicked show at the MEN Arena in Manchester. The vibe was awesome and I have to say having 23,000 people jump up off their feet with such vibrancy and passion was something that I’ll never forget. Thank you so much to the phenominal parents, audience and Young Voices Choir for bringing so much enthusiasm and passion to the show. I can honestly say I have never been part of such a massive freestlye jam! If you were at the event or you came last year, hit us up and let us know what you thought of the Urban Strides performances. Let us know your highlights and what you enjoyed the best so we can make sure we are giving you guys what you want.

Last year we received thousands of enquiries of people wanting to carry on with Urban Strides street dance. Unfortunately we currently don’t have classes in Manchester . Instead we were planning to sell our awesome Pure Street Dance tutorial DVD with free Beardyman Beatbox CD for half it’s normal retail price as a gift to the Young Voices Choir. However, demand was so high we sold out at the O2 so we had no DVD’s to bring to Manchester! So we are offering this special deal on our online store until Wednesday at midnight. THIS IS A ONE TIME DEAL AND WILL NOT BE REPEATED! You need to write the promotional discount code “Manchester” when you purchase the DVD to ensure your discount. Click here to get one before they run out…again! http://street-dance-store.com/store/gbu0-prodshow/15.html
