The dates of Ken Swift’s Breakin’ Convention Pioneers courses have been announced.

The workshops will run from 20 June through to 1 July, starting at Dance Base, Edinburgh, before continuing to Sadler’s Wells in the latter part of the month.

The Pioneers courses, run by Breakin’ Convention, are intense workshops by the most elite hip hop dancers to train practitioners in the foundations of their style. The last Pioneers workshops led by Tony GoGo took place in March.

Ken Swift will be working with experienced hip hop dancers and teachers from across the UK teaching the foundations and original forms of b-boying through high level training, discussions and open circles.
