Message from Maria

I’m totally passionate about breakdance! There’s something extraordinary about it that makes both young and old excited and connects people all over the world. Working as a P.E. teacher and Fitness trainer for the last 5 years, I always gave my students the opportunity to have a taste of it. I also held various workshops for children and young adults in Switzerland and Thailand. I love to see the excitement in the kids’ eyes and hearing them shout: “Teacher, look what I can do!” Have a taste and join a breakdance class! You will enjoy its energizing atmosphere that makes you go beyond your limits. All you need is an open mind and young heart to try something new.

I want to learn how to do breakdance!
