Dance Classes - Australia & New Zealand - I dance, therefore I am

 
As I step out of the room and into the cold, dark night, I pull the hood of my jacket over, half covering my sweaty face; I am exhausted. These are the confessions of a serial dancer.

Darrio's Street Dance, Sydney's Original Hip-hop dance school established in 1995 by Darrio Phillips. Darrio’s Street has always been on the cutting edge of hip-hop dance; bringing its style and originality to its drop in classes, school sports afternoons and artist development and professional stage shows.

Darrio Phillips originates from Ohio, USA. He came to Australia in the early 1980’s where he was one of the original Hip-hop dancers in Australia; dancing on countless TV shows, promotions, shows etc. He has also choreographed & danced for Peter Andre & Selwyn. And for tours that include Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Bobby Brown & RUMBA.

He is the first Hip-hop dance teacher in Australia, having educated several generations of Sydney students and bringing Hip-hop dance into the Catholic & State Education departments curriculum as an acceptable style of dance for Sport & PE. As well as running his own successful Hip-hop dance school the first in Sydney to be purely devoted to Street Dance and it’s ever changing styles. He is truly a pioneer for dance.

I knoooow, he's just so cool!!! Well I did 3 years with him at school...then stopped during HSC (but I bumped into him at Kogarah station and initially walked straight past him cos I thought he wouldn't recognise me...but he's so fricken good with faces aaaah! Haha he was like, why don't you come to my classes anymore?! Told me to come to his city ones etc)...didn't get around to it in 1st year of uni, but went for a couple of classes last year (only beginner though cos I hadn't danced in like 2 years)...and then I did a Hip-Hop Essentials course last semester...I wanted to come to the Open classes but I had labs till 6...plus I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep up due to being rusty but ending up the Essentials went kinda slow...I'll probably go back after uni

Hahaha wow.

That guy remembers EVERYONE he's ever come in contact with, he's like an elephant and he's pretty damn good for his age too, hope I'm fit and healthy with my memory still good at his age.

Have you seen his baby? She is sooooo adorable!

Yeah check out his classes when you done with uni cuz he's always talking about moving back to the States...

What could be better than having Darrio's fitness levels at the age of 53 or however old he is...haha can you believe he doesn't remember! Maybe his memory's not so hot after all...

I haven't been back since before the birth, so haven't seen her in real life yet but I saw that photo Krys sent around OH MY GOSH. What a darling!

I'll definitely try to make it back soon...I wanna go to Groove too, you'll be there right?
