Frequently asked questions
My son/daughter is 4 and turning 5 soon, but i would like to register for the 1st step program (ages 5-12). Can i do that?
Your son/daughter should enroll in the Little Breakers Program (ages 3-4). The Little Breakers program is a great way to introduce kids to the art form. We sometimes allow 4 year olds into the 5-12 age groups but based on our experience, starting out in the Little Breakers is the best option. The class is very fun, and our goal is to make sure that all kids are having fun, especially when they are learning a new style of dance.
My son/daugther has taken some breakin' lessons elsewhere, do they need to enroll in the first step program?
Yes, we have a unique curriculum and it is much more than just dance moves. We require all new students to enroll in the First Step Program.
