Children's and youth breakdance workshops in Kontula
Ash and Gustyle, members of the Turkish dance group Too Much Underground, will be teaching breakdance power moves on four Thursdays in October-November at Kontulan Luuppi.

The power move workshops are for more advanced breakdancers. At the same time, breakdance instructor FDC Slick Nick will provide hands-on guidance for beginners. The breakdance workshops are on Thursdays, Oct 22nd, Oct 29th, Nov 12th, and Nov 19th, from 6 PM to 8 PM. You can attend once or even every time!
