Powered by Hip Hop Voted Number 1 for St Helens Dances Classes from 2019-2023
We are known for having the best Break Dancing and Hip Hop Classes in St Helens.

Other classes just deliver dance, where we provide Graffiti Arts, DJing, Parkour and Circus Classes. Don't let your child settle for just a street dance class, get them fully involved in all of Hip Hop! They're only young once, so it's always best to give them everything that they deserve. www.poweredbyhiphop.org www.uccrew.co.uk Our awards and achievements:

Were you there?

We’re looking for memories of Break Dancing, Body Popping, DJs, graffiti, youth clubs, school shows, talent shows and local Hip Hop culture across St Helens, Knowsley and Merseyside.

From the 1980s right through to today — if you remember a dancer, crew, place, photo, flyer or story, we’d love to hear from you.

A lot of this history was never written down. Help us find the missing pieces.

Message us today or pop along see us at one of the events on the poster.
