Jag vill vara en positiv röst för andra unga
För Wesley var dansen en räddning under en tuff uppväxt. På Åsa folkhögskolas danslinje lär han sig inte bara fem olika stilar inom streetdance, utan även att växa som människa.
Five Styles is a forward-looking profile course for you who want to gain fundamental knowledge, experience, and improve your skills in locking, popping, breaking, hip-hop, and house.
As part of the course, you will explore through freestyling and develop your knowledge by studying a variety of topics, such as dance technique, history, and culture.
You will have dance classes every day within these different styles and additional afternoon classes.
