Hip Hop @ Otahuhu

Urban Dance Project The Urban Dance Project is a danced-based leadership programme. The programme is a funded project, so all tuition is free. The programme is running on an audition basis. We plan to get this started on the 1st week of term 4.

The programme runs for both boys and girls, with 2 different ages groups. All auditions take place over the second week of the school holidays. These are all really relaxed and will be a ton of fun.

The auditions will be taken by dance professionals, including:

Pracilla Brown -Bio Mentor, community dance instructor, Platinum Dance Crew Founder

Taupuhi Toki - New Native Dance, Odyssey Dance Crew

What we are looking for: Young people who love to dance, and who are wanting to upskill in the dance field, we will be working towards Otahuhu Annual Christmas in the Carpark Showcase which is a Corporate event.

Audition workshop dates: Auditions will be run over the period of 3-4 days, all auditionees are expected to attend all 3 days(day 4 we will be going to Parakai pools* *$15pp for this day as it covers entry and lunch). The dates are 5-8 October 10am-2pm. Over these 3 days we will be taking the youth through a range of dance styles.

Age groups:

Girls 13-16 Years

Boys 13-16 years

Open seniors 16-18 years old (mixed boys and girls)

But in the mean time - we are currently running free hip-hop classes at the Otahuhu rec free of charge, these take place on a Wednesday at 4pm.
