St Helens Break Dance History
Heritage Open Day: Learn about St Helens Break Dance History! With break dancing demonstrations, learn how to do graffiti art and try your hand at DJing. Learn about the Breaking Crews of the 1980s and UC Crew (Powered By Hip Hop) who have been bringing Hip Hop to St Helens since 2003.
UC Crew is a National Award Winning Hip Hop Social Action organisation based in St Helens, Merseyside. We used Hip Hop art forms and youth activities to improve communities and make them a better place to live, work and grow up. What began in 2004 as a weekly Break Dance class for teenagers has grown into a nationally acclaimed non-profit organisation that uses the art forms of breaking (breakdance), djing, graffiti, rapping and circus skills, combined with youth work practices that changes people’s lives.
This event is funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of the ‘Creative Underground’ project, coordinated by St Helens Archive Service, part of St Helens Borough Council.
