Origin Story
We were a dance crew that practiced in an underground car park….Â
That’s true, we really were just a bunch of kids that wanted to dance Hip Hop but had nowhere to learn the correct techniques or about the history and culture of street dance.
We were driven by our passion and drew from every source we could, watching Hip Hop videos from VHS and MTV and practicing as much as we could.
Move by move we grew, eventually taking lessons as dance studios in Canberra began to include Hip Hop styles as part of their overall repertoire.Â
We learned some good things about aspects of Hip Hop styles but we soon realised that nobody really taught Hip Hop within its proper cultural content as a form of community street dance.
So we saved and travelled to learn about what the culture of Hip Hop dance really meant and it’s the knowledge we gained from visiting places where Street dance is central to the expression of community that has inspired us to share this with our own community.
When we got back to Canberra we realised again that Street dance culture was really missing as a component within the Canberra studio scene and that we had to do something about that.
And so, Project Beats was born from this passion to create our own unique, talented, inspired and caring community of Street Dancers.
