About Me
My name is Kwan and I'm a breaker (b-boy, breakdancer) from Toronto, Canada. I have recently moved to London to embark on a 2-year graduate program in dance therapy. I would love to offer some breaking lessons for anyone interested during my time here in London. Through breaking, my mission is to enrich, enliven, and enlighten others.
- Enrich: Improve the quality of people’s mind, body, and spirit.
- Enliven: Bring fun, joy, and excitement into people’s lives.
- Enlighten: Educate about breaking, dance, and hip-hop culture.
I welcome all skill levels. My main language is English, but I can also speak a bit of Japanese (N3) and Cantonese (conversational). All levels are welcome! No experience is required.
If you would like to see some of my dancing, please feel free to check out my Instagram profile or check out this promo reel of mine.
Hope you can join me on the dance floor soon!
Peace and Love,
Kwan
Every week on Tuesday until October 31, 2025
