HipHop
HipHop from the very best for everyone

Being a veteran of HipHop despite of his young age – at the age of 11 he danced in his first group in Paris - Bruce Ykanji will teach the old and new school of HipHop.
Part of that are: Popping, Boogaloo, Waves, Flowing, Pop and in the new school: Hype, Monastory, Harlem and others. He will especially emphasise on the basic moves and on teaching the culture of HipHop very accurately. The dancers will be well equipped to finally play with their technical abilities.
