Happy Friday Drivers and welcome to this week’s show!
Got another jam packed show full of goodies for your long weekend warm up!
Starting things off on a bit of mellow tip with some jazzy global grooves to properly unwind you from the first full week of Summer and taking it to a head nodding foot stomping Disco & Boogie frenzy in hour two as a bit of a warm up for Saturday’s DiscoLab & of course to wind you up for this weekend’s shenanigans.

A lot of you ask us "where do I go to practice?" after our dance classes finish. Our answer: An Open Practice. An Open Practice is a space dedicated to Street Dancers of all levels (beginner to advanced) who want to practice what they've learnt amongst other people. You can use the space to drill your foundations, to stretch, to practice your musicality, cypher/dance with others in a more "social" setting and ask questions from more experienced dancers to learn more! All Levels. Anyone who wants to learn Breaking for the first time or the seasoned dancer who needs to work on their Power Moves. This is an open level/open concept workshop so just bring your cash, your questions and learn something! This is a great space to work on your craft on a budget! Bring 2$ and we'll see you there!
