Breaking Academy - Autumn 2026 Full-Term (7 - 18yrs)

members train across two or more selected sessions each week, giving them the time, structure and support to develop beyond a single weekly class. The Academy is about more than learning additional moves. Students develop strong foundations, confidence, creativity, discipline and their own identity as breakers. WHO IS THE ACADEMY FOR? The Academy is designed for existing Academy members and experienced students who are ready to: • Train at least twice per week • Practise between sessions • Work towards personal goals • Learn and retain structured material • Support their teammates • Prepare for performances, battles and competitions • Represent the Academy positively The Academy is not only for the strongest dancers. Commitment, attitude, attendance, focus and willingness to learn are equally important. OUR AUTUMN TERM FOCUS This term, Academy students will work through our structured 9 System, developing essential material across: • Top Rock • Go Downs • Footwork • Freezes Students will learn to perform these foundations with greater control, confidence and individuality before creating combinations, transitions and original variations. Training will also focus on: • Freestyle and battle confidence • Creating and remixing combinations • Strength, flexibility and movement quality • Routines, formations and showcase preparation • Working within Academy squads and crews • Independent practice and training discipline Every student will use a training notebook and programme card to track their development. Short weekly practice tasks will help students retain material and take responsibility for their progress. Performance and competition opportunities will be based on readiness, commitment, attendance and effort. WHERE CAN ACADEMY MEMBERS TRAIN?
