Opened by Dionne Dalton at age 18 as a street dance class in a community hall in Kingswood. Twenty-three years, four venues, and over a thousand students later, still family-run, still focused on real street dance.
Twenty-three years of continuous classes. Same owner, same floor, same family.
Dozens now dancing professionally. West End, cruise ships, championship crews.
Billericay HQ. Brentwood. Maldon. Chelmsford (new, open now).
House. Locking. Waacking. Old school. The real curriculum, not street jazz with a label.
Every dance school says they do street dance. Most teach street jazz with a label. We actually do the styles: House, Locking, Waacking, Old School. Taught by dancers who’ve lived the culture.

The spine of everything HK does. Real street dance, taught by dancers with Britain's Got Talent, World Hip Hop Champs, and Adam Lambert backing credits. Classes from age 5 through adults, at all four venues.

Teens programme →Commercial and Heels on Wednesday nights at Brentwood. For adults who want to actually dance, not cardio-dance.
Adult classes →HK's competitive team. Nationals, Worlds, World Hip Hop finalists. Open to any student by invitation from age 8+.
Meet the crew →Seven specialists. Real venues, real credits, real tenure. Not “passionate instructors”, a crew of working dancers who chose to stay.
“The teachers are incredible. So much dancing experience in the style. A community feel where parents become friends.”

The first class is free. Here’s exactly what happens, minute by minute, so you know what you’re walking into.
Fill the form. You pick the venue, the age, the style. Takes 60 seconds. No card needed.
Within 24 hours, to confirm the class, answer questions, and make sure the age group's right for your kid. Straight from Dionne, not a call centre.
Wear whatever they're comfortable in: leggings, joggers, trainers. Bring a water bottle. We don't do uniforms until they actually want to join.
Warm-up and a name game. Your child meets the teacher and one or two kids. No pressure to perform, no spotlight. They pick it up when they're ready.
The rest of the class works through actual street dance choreography, broken down by age. Parents welcome to watch from the side; most stay.
If they loved it, we enrol them, pay-as-you-go or monthly, whatever suits. If not, no hard feelings. Dionne once did the same for her own daughter.
HK’s competitive team trains weekly, competes regionally, and puts on an annual show in a proper theatre every summer. By invitation from age 8.
Pick a venue. Pick a day. We’ll see you on the floor this week.
