The esteemed professor Ken Swift led the first class of the Beat Breakers on 4/20, and it was off the hook! Some of these kids can really dance, and are hungry to learn more. Our producer buddy Chris was on set shooting footage, and will be putting together a promo spot very soon.

We set up a little blog for the Beat Breakers to follow their progress. Check it out at:

Just a clip of the kids horsing around. Ken sure makes it look easy.

We just launched a new after-school b-boy / b-girl program for high school kids called BEAT BREAKERS, which will be taught by none other than the legendary Ken Swift.  The pilot program runs for seven weeks starting on April 20th and debuts at the Bronx Academy of Letters, a really progressive high school that emphasizes good writing skills as a path to success.

To kick off the program and give students a taste of what they might eventually be able to do, Ken brought some of the Breaks Kru (WaAak, Nemesis, and MykeToes) to perform a brief exhibition in front of students who were interested in learning more about the program.  Much more in updates and news on this program to come… Peep the vid and slideshow for now:
