Grandparents, parents and children came together this week for a special Age Without Limits Day activity at KL Dance.

Grandparents and families had a go at scratch DJing, circus skills and watched our Breaking students showcase what they've been learning in class.

One grandparent summed it up perfectly:

"It was great to spend time with my grandchildren learning their hobbies. I didn't expect to have so much fun."

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to the Centre for Ageing Better for supporting the project.

Today we welcomed students, parents and grandparents to KL Dance for a special Age Without Limits Day activity funded by the Centre for Ageing Better

Families had a go at scratch DJing with Tommy P-Nuts, circus skills and watched our Breaking students showcase some of the skills they've been learning in class.

One of the highlights was seeing grandparents and grandchildren learning together, sharing laughs and trying activities they never expected to do.

As one grandparent said:

"It was great to spend time with my grandchildren learning their hobbies. I didn't expect to have so much fun."

Projects like this remind us that Hip Hop culture, creativity and learning new skills can bring people together at any age.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the session such a positive experience.

Want your child to experience the confidence, fun and community that comes with Breaking?

Please message us to arrange a free first class.
