Blaze Boys

About Blaze Boys…

Breakdance (Breaking) classes and projects for boys and male identifying young people (aged 9-16) offering the chance to:

Learn and develop skills in Breaking and urban dance styles
Explore creative talents
Cultivate friendships with shared interests
Gain confidence
Perform on stages and at community festivals
Stay active and promote mental and physical well-being
Attend ‘Go See’ performances to inspire

Weekly classes during term time in York, (Energise Leisure Centre) on Thursdays 3:15-6:15pm, open to all experience levels. We will prioritise your passion for collaboration, and embracing new approaches and skills. All genders welcome

Our approach fosters growth and skill development, while encouraging creative freedom in a supportive, safe environment. We believe in dance as a means of celebration and self-discovery, offering non-competitive performance opportunities.

Join us for various performances, workshops, projects, and trips led by experienced youth and community dance leaders, including guest teachers and European Breaking competitors and leaders.

Blaze Boys is a new project running throughout York and North Yorkshire, working in partnership with local secondary schools. If you are a secondary school in York or North Yorkshire or a community organisation working with male identifying people and wish to get involved, we would love to hear from you.
