This is what this event is all about! This is Segun’s 2nd year of Hip Hop Don’t Stop and he took full advantage of the week, he was always in the circle and he improved rapidly, we can’t wait to see how much he has come on for the Autumn week. You really do get out what you put in, so challenge yourself and take a positive step, be commited to fullfilling your potential because when you can freestyle with total confidence there is no better feeling.  You only have 2 weeks to confirm your place at HIp Hop Don’t Stop and the places are filling up quick you will get so much out of it I am telling you about it because it has the potential to dramatically transform the way you dance for the better, just look at Segun.

It would be great to hear what you think, drop us a comment on the vid, have a great weekend

Big luv Andy

Ha ha, this cracked me up, we were just chillin in the canteen at Hip Hop Don’t Stop hanging with the family when we come across Marcus (epic flave) from Philladelphia just rocking out a sick bboy freestyle. Marcus is one of our awesome teachers who got a great reception and is coming back in October to teach some bboying and new jack swing, (If you don’t know about new jack swing, all will be revealed at the event!) I love these moments from Hip Hop Don’t Stop, there were so many improtu moments that happen at Hip Hop Don’t Stop that make it such an exciting place to be. It always puts a smile on my face knowing that while your chomping on a sandwich you can watch world class BBoys throwing down!  ahhhaaa the magic of Hip Hip Don’t Stop! If you have ever freestyled somewhere random drop us a comment and let us know where ( if you havent already check out jiris post on underpass freestyling, genius) If you like the vid or you were there hit us up with a comment!

p.s. Its my birthday today, and I can’t wait to share it with a sick class tonight with the A town massive woop woop!

I am so excited about this.  For the last five years at Hip Hop Don’t Stop the energy and vibe has been off the hook! The only problem has been the wait for the next year. We received so many evaluation forms where you had said “we want more”, or “we can’t wait!” Well you don’t have to any more! We are doing a 3 day event during the october half term 27th-29th October with your favourite teachers form the summer.  Plus we have a brand new teacher called Kymberlee Jay who has danced with Madonna and is sponsored by Nike she is a krump expert and will bring the rawness!

  Well we have our video from the summer here to wet your appetite check it out and let us know what you think.  If you were their during the summer drop a messsage or if you are coming in Ocotober let us know what your looking forward to!

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!
