FREE Streetdance Classes

We are really excited to be launching our MOTIV-8 project in January 2012. The aim of the project is to encourage children and young people from low income families, who may not normally have the opportunity to participate in dance classes, to experience and enjoy the art of dance and it's numerous benefits including improved fitness, confidence building, developing skills, making friends and having fun!!

Those in receipt of income-based benefits can attend our eight week streetdance course absolutely FREE! The course, supported by Basildon Council, will run every Tuesday from 10th January 2012 for eight weeks at the following times: 4yrs+ 4-5pm; 8yrs+ 5-6pm; 12yrs+ 6-7pm. Participants will focus on the foundations of this popular dance style, learning all the latest moves to their favourite tunes!

To sign up simply fill in a booking form and send to us with your proof of benefits.

Kayzar at World Streetdance Championships

We recently took our dancers to compete at the World Streetdance Championships for the very first time, and all of our dance crews made it through to the finals!! Such an amazing achievement for our dancers who work so hard all year round.

We had an exciting and very busy time at the competition organised by United Dance Organisation at Winter Gardens in Blackpool. Four of our dance crews were ranked top 4 in the world for their age - with one crew winning 2nd place [Ninjas] and another picking up 3rd place [Reloaded]. Brilliant results for our first ever world competition...as they say, the only way is up!

Our dancers also did brilliantly in the solo, duo and quad categories winning the U14 and O16 advanced locking, U12 advanced hip hop, U14 all stars and U16 breakdance to name just a few!
Well done to everyone who took part - you are amazing and we are very proud of you all :)

Kieran wins European gold

A young streetdancer busted his moves to represent England at a European competition and won first place.

Kieran Lai, 15, picked up the medal for Junior Electric Boogie solo at the European Hip Hop championships, held in Denmark at the weekend.

He competed against dozens of other dancers for the title with a one-minute routine he choreographed himself.

About 150 dancers from England took part in the Europe-wide competition, which attracted almost 5,000 dancers.

Kieran, who dances with Kayzar in Basildon, Essex, has worked hard to improve his technique in order to win the competition in which he came second last year.

He said: “It was a tough competition but I really enjoyed it. I practise a lot during the week so I'm pleased all the practising has paid off."

“I feel happy when I'm dancing. The whole experience was amazing”

Kieran's dance teacher, Nader Boulila, said "I am really proud of Kieran. He is a brilliant, talented dancer and I'm sure he will continue to go far."

"He has a unique approach which sets him apart from other dancers."

"Kieran worked hard and gave the competition everything he had so I'm really pleased he did so well"

 He added "At Kayzar we specialise in Streetdance. It is a very popular dance style. I  think that's because Streetdance is really accessible. People can just come in from the street and dance. It's so versatile and fun."

Kayzar has dance schools in Basildon, Wickford, Southend and Brentwood for people of all ages and abilities.

A GROUP of Essex dancers brought home an amazing collection of silverware after achieving glory at a competition in Essex.
Kayzar Dance Company competed against schools from across the South East in the Essex Streetdance Championships, and walked away with 32 trophies.
Around 43 youngsters were taken to perform at the dance competition, which was held at the Civic Hall in Grays. They all took home at least one prize winning trophy in either solo, duo or group categories.
Junior dance troupe, Riots, who were recently crowned Southend’s TXT Factor streetdance champions, scooped another first place trophy in the under 12 group category. In the under 16 groups, Ninjas picked up 1st place followed closely by Remedy in 2nd place and Legacy in 3rd. K-Lic came 1st in the over 16 groups and Justice won 3rd place in the same category. Madison Hubbard, 11, came 1st in the under 12 solos while Sam Hall, 12,  scooped second place in the under 14s. In the under 16 solo category, Kieran Lai, 14, picked up 1st place, while Ellen Westmore, 15, was awarded 2nd place and Will Smith, 15, came 3rd. The remaining trophies were awarded to dancers for their outstanding performances in the duo categories.
Nader Boulila, who runs Kayzar Dance Company said: “What a brilliant result! All the judges were of the highest level and our pupils were competing against schools from the whole South East area.
“We are so proud of all our pupils and teachers. They all deserve such fantastic results as they always work so hard.
“It is a wonderful achievement and recognition for all the hard work, support and team spirit from all the pupils, parents and teachers."
The young dancers train at Kayzar Dance Company which has dance schools in Basildon, Brentwood, Southend and Wickford with classes available for all ages.

BIG win for our junior dance crew

They might look small, but they are definitely BIG on talent!
Our junior dance crew "Riots" were crowned the ultimate streetdance champions at the TXT Factor this weekend after impressing celebrity judges, including Levi Roots (famous for his reggae reggae sauce) and wowing the audience with their explosive streetdance routine. The competition at Southend Airshow was their debut and a wonderful experience for them. They have worked so hard and put in hours of practice both at the studios and at home. Riots have lots to look forward to over the next few months...watch out for them!

Well done to all our dancers who did extremely well at the event. Very impressive dancing from everyone!

Kieran to represent the UK at World Championships

Our talented dancer Kieran is to represent the UK at the IDO European and World Hip Hop Championships in Denmark and Austria later this year.

He impressed judges after competing at the All England Streetdance Championships at the prestigious O2 arena. His polished routine saw him beat 35 dancers to the top spot in the Hip Hop category and 2nd place in the Electric Boogie category. His winning positions mean that he has automatically qualified to represent the UK in the forthcoming championships.

Kieran trains at Kayzar's Rhythm and Funk Studios in Basildon town centre. School principal, Nader Boulila, said "This is a well-deserved and fantastic opportunity for Kieran. He is a dedicated and determined dancer and I am so glad that all his hard work has been rewarded and his amazing talent recognised. We are all very proud of him and wish him the very best of luck".

House dance workshop with Bly Richards

Kayzar students recently enjoyed a very special workshop with Bly Richards!

The workshop was a full-on masterclass in house dancing, a style of dance which originated in the nightclubs of Chicago. A fusion of many different types of dance – such as Latin, hip-hop, jazz and even tap – house dance is a style which really reflects the individuality of the dancer. It was seriously good fun and all our dancers really enjoyed the experience. Anxious at first, soon everyone was really getting into it and "riding the music". An amazing workshop with an amazing dancer :-)

A big thank you to Bly from all of us at Kayzar!!!

Be sure to add us on facebook for details of our next workshop!

Kayzar at Janet Duke Aspirations Day

The newly amalgamated Janet Duke Primary school in Basildon, Essex held an Aspirations Day on 1st April 2011 and invited Kayzar to be part of it.  The idea of the Aspirations Day was to inspire the children and show them how it is possible to achieve a brighter future.   The children had the opportunity to gain an insight to lots of different careers.  A large number of pupils had previously expressed an interest in a career in the Dance/Entertainment industry so Kayzar was on hand to answer any questions, provide advice and give demonstrations. 


We had a wonderful day - and hope that we were able to inspire lots of children at the school!

2SMART Workshop for Local School

One lucky school won a workshop with the 2SMART performers including Kayzar. Schools that sent back their evaluation forms after attending the 2SMART Tour 2010 were entered into a competition to win a morning of workshops at their school.  The winning school, Honywood Community School were selected and were really excited about the prize. On 30th March 2011 Kayzar along with Nav, Big Fen and A2W visited the school to provide an interactive, fun workshop for pupils and teachers.

Kayzar's BIG win at Streetdance competition

Group leader Nader Boulila said: "Our dancers have had a brilliant weekend. I am so proud of all of them. As always the event was very well organised and the atmosphere helped to make the day an even more memorable one."

"These great results wouldn't have been possible without the commitment of all the dancers that attend our studios, the parents who support us and my amazing teaching staff who commit themselves to making sure our dancers get the best possible training in urban dance styles in Essex."

Top performers at the competition included Lauren Powell, 8, who won four titles. She got first place in the under-8 solos, first place in the under-10 duos with Tony Heirs, first place in the under-14 group category with the Ninjas and first place in the battle of all winners section.

Kayzar's Secret Assignment

Kayzar recently took part in this unique anti-bullying event which shares new ways to tackle bullying with young people from across the Borough. Delivered by the same team who perform at the Essex Police ‘2SMART’ roadshow, the event was both exciting and engaging for all!

Schools in the area nominated three pupils from years 5 and 6, or years 7 and 8, as their Secret Agents. The Secret Agents were then sent their brief from Agent X and carried out some pre-event work in school.

On the day of the event, held at Westcliff High School for Girls, the pupils worked in groups with other schools and their team leaders to devise a form of communication which portrays the emotions and thoughts of a character from a bullying scenario. 

In order for the Secret Agents to complete their mission they have to feed back what they have learnt to other pupils, teachers and Governors and report back to Agent X before the deadline!

Kayzar Reloaded at Got to Dance

JANUARY 2011

Kayzar Reloaded recently appeared on Sky One's Got to Dance show in a bid to make the show's semi finals.

The group of 12 performed an action packed routine to show off their skills including streetdance, breakin' and popping. The performance was led by 14-year-old European popping champion Kieran Lai, who was a “puppeteer”, with the rest of the dancers following his moves.

  

Choreographer Nader Boulila said: “It was pretty explosive. “We loved it. The performance caused a bit of an argument between Ashley and Kimberly, as Kimberly thought it was too much of a story and maybe not enough dancing, while Ashley thought it was very original. Either way we had a great experience”
