Breakdance Workshop Discover Hip Hop CultureAges 6+ · No experience needed · Shared class in a Harlem studiowww.viator.comFrom Bronx Block Parties to Your First Moves
The class opens with where breaking came from, the block parties of the Bronx and the streets of Harlem, before anyone gets on the floor. The operator's booking notes run that part as a fifteen-minute video intro.
Then comes about an hour of training. You learn signature moves one at a time, and the instructor stacks them into a full routine.
The moves build into one choreography that the group performs together at the end. The listing closes the session in battle mode, with participants facing off against each other to see what they've got.
Bring a Camera for the Finale
The listing tells you to bring a tripod and a camera, because you will want to capture your performance. The operator's booking notes set aside the last fifteen minutes as a recording session, so you can film your final routine and take the video home.
If you would rather stay in front of the lens, the operator says its team is happy to record you on request.
Who It Suits, and the Fitness Question
The listing pitches this for families and groups, and the operator says children, teenagers and adults learn and perform together in the same session. Children must be at least six.
The listing marks the class as suitable for all physical fitness levels, but the operator's own booking notes say it requires a basic level of physical fitness, and anyone with a recent injury or feeling unwell on the day will not be able to take part. The listing also advises against the class for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or a pregnancy.
Instruction is offered in English and Spanish.
Times, Shoes, Water and Tips
As of November 5, 2026, the listing runs Monday through Thursday at 10:30 AM and on Sundays at 3:00 PM, and the operator's own booking calendar shows the same pattern. The listing gives the session as 75 minutes, while the operator's booking notes add up to an hour and a half: fifteen minutes of video, an hour of training and fifteen minutes of filming. Plan around the longer figure.
Wear sneakers or athletic shoes you can move in. Bottled water is included on the listing, and the operator also suggests bringing a bottle, since there is a water dispenser on site. Tips are not included; the operator suggests ten dollars a person if you enjoyed it.
