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 :)

You can learn to dance with our world champions and finalists at Rhythm and Funk Studios in Basildon. Visit http://www.kayzar.co.uk/timetable.html for our full range of dance classes.

Kayzar support Together Against Crime

Kayzar entertained hundreds of shoppers and passers-by in the Basildon town centre as part of the Together Against Crime event on 28 July.

The annual event, hosted by The Basildon Community Safety Partnership (CSP),  aims to encourage residents to find out more about how the CSP work together to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in the borough. 

Many local dance and music acts performed on the community stage, hosted by Harry Carnaby.
Kayzar are proud to be involved in events such as this, particularly as our aim is to provide fun and engaging activities that enable children and young people to enjoy themselves and learn new skills in a positive way, away from the streets.
