WHAT WE DO

Hip-hop that Empowers People

At SKdojo, we unite families & youth in one respect to help realize each other’s God-given gifts.

SPACEKATZ is a youth & family-centred collective based on Hip-Hop.  Our mission is to facilitate creative, cultural and social activities in our community where children and youth can explore authentic Hip Hop dance, music and various arts.

 We believe that these urban techniques and street arts will advocate a healthy, active lifestyle and empower confidence and inclusion in our community. 

What we do strengthens the family unit and brings others closer together.
We believe this is needed now more than ever.

WHY IS IT UNIQUE?

What distinguishes us from others
01

Authenticity

Breaking is an ultimate expression of one’s body for physical and mental strength. Both on a community scale, Hip-hop culture originally was a tool for a creative outlet and for youth to redirect barriers and hardships to empowerment.

Unlike most dance schools where the lessons are heavily influenced by the commercial and mainstream take of the art forms. We focus on the original culture and the foundations of Hi-hop from the breaking eras of the 70s-2000s. We share an authentic taste of music, dance and values from the time.

The Mindset – We tend to encourage the trainees to develop an attitude to try, and give their best effort when learning and building self-discipline. No matter what one’s situation may be, we believe that this display of mental strength will help one surpass many challenges in life. 

02

Small Group & Space

Our workshops create an inclusive space where no  learners feel left behind or isolated; the small group training will typically help you see results quicker than working out in big groups or on your own. Today we observe that the new generation has less coping skills when things get difficult and often give up before trying. We embrace that all growth comes from discomfort and the ability to push through.  Both the group and the Mentor will hold each other accountable.

At each session we introduce body-weight exercises to build strength, flexibility, mobility and the coordination needed to perform breaking moves. We encourage the trainees to practice the techniques them in their own time & space, outside of other extracurricular activities. There is no special equipment required. Running shoes, and the proper gear(Tshirt, long-sleeve, pants). We challenge each participant to control one’s body and movement to master spatial awareness in a small quarter spaces. This will benefit the performer in a real life cypher, battle or on stage.

It is different from an ordinary classroom or any type of regular dance class. We aim to grow as individuals and as a group.

Unique Philosophy of Teaching in Art & fitness

Although, the breaking classes in the city are taught by great dancers,  most are not experienced teachers, and vice versa.

Our lessons are taught and facilitated by Registered Educator, personal trainer who are also experienced Artists. The Mentor, Rule7 has developed best practice associated with human development drawing from experience teaching in variety of contexts in educational institutions, youth facilities and programming. It is highly responsive to the needs and experiences of communities and able to guide the learner’s journey and pursuit as a life-long skill.

His messages have landed with my son.

“My son, tells me about how Michael is teaching people to dance and continues physical training in a small space and he uses that to develop his own unique style. Very relevant to how we all need to adapt during the pandemic. He also tells me how he always make the boys feel like they still have so much they can do and be thankful for under this circumstances. I really appreciate Michael’s messages to the kids. His messages have landed with my son. Michael really is having a positive impact in my son’s life. That energy is contagious so please keep it up.

I have noticed a huge improvement in my strength and flexibility.

"I've been participating in Michael's Strength classes over the past year both in person and virtual. I have noticed a huge improvement in my strength and flexibility. As a petite person over 50 I was concerned about not being able to fully participate but Michael's expertise and skills made it possible for me to surpass my goals. He's extremely good at modifying exercises to meet your specific needs while challenging you in a fun but safe way. Michael's energy and encouragement keeps you motivated throughout the class. It's obvious that he truly cares about all his students. I highly recommend his classes to everyone of all ages."
