My 5 year old son has only gone to 2 classes but absolutely loves it. He has been into break dancing since he was 3 and if we lived closer we’d be there every weekend for sure. If you haven’t check out a class I definitely recommend it.
Just in two weeks she decided to join the dance circle at the end of class. And that’s a big deal for her!! Her dad and I were shocked and really happy to say the least. And so was she!
You are AMAZING! Thank you for creating such a warm + supportive community =)
Our son had an absolutely amazing time at the class! Instructor is a natural with the students! We will come back again. Thanks
I can’t get over how much we loved class today.
Dino was doing break dancing moves straight into bed tonight. Thanks again! We’ll definitely be signing up for more!
Aside from the obvious – introducing our minis to breaking and hip hop in a positive fun environment – I also love how Minibreaks introduces preschool fundamentals such as listening to the teacher, following directions, respecting themselves and others, taking turns, and socializing/ interacting with their peers.
The Teacher, Anna Banana Freeze, is so amazing. Her energy radiates on the kids and parents. She is encouraging and accommodates everyone well, from the outgoing to the super shy. My three year old son didn’t want to leave and my infant daughter had fun “dancing” with me on the sidelines.
We will definitely be back!
we tried it late fall and my son noah loved it. he’s a fan of all things involving music. the class and teacher anna was very inviting and encouraged independence, respected all personalities and created a nice group environment
we’d be there more often if money/time allowed
I have taken my two boys, ages 5 and 7, to MiniBreaks Dance 5 times over the past month and a half. We absolutely love it! My sons had been interested in hip hop and/or breaking but I could not find anything for them at their ages. Finally I found Anna Banana Freeze and am SO glad I did!!! Anna is an amazing person, dancer, and teacher. She is awesome with little ones, very patient, kind, understanding and attentive, also humorous. Her class is a wonderful environment for free expression and learning some hip hop and breaking moves. Everyone is invited to participate at the level they wish to do so. It is a very accepting group and non-intimidating. We plan to attend as many MiniBreaks as we can!
All of the dancing at Mini BREAKS is informal, safe, and age-appropriate, and each child dances as much as they are comfortable with. Anna shows the kids basic breaking steps to get their feet tapping to the beat, and shares the names of dance moves to introduce students to b-boy and b-girl culture. My 4-year-old daughter now knows what a cypher is, the name for the circle that spectators form around a dancer showing off their best tricks. In fact, after her first Mini BREAKS class, I almost stepped on a dance floor my daughter created out of Barbie dolls sitting in a circle, just waiting to watch her to show off her new moves.
We went for the first time this morning with our almost three year old twins. They had a great time and were talking about it to strangers at the playground afterwards. The teacher Anna is amazing at keeping the class moving and structured even with a full room of bouncy kids. It was high energy and very positive. My favorite part is that is it so focused on supporting the kids’ expressions of their own individuality. We haven’t attended anything else like it. We will definitely be back.
