About US

We are the UK's Street Dance specialists. We change lives through music and dance. We share our passion for authentic Street Dance in a way that empowers our students and puts a smile on their face! We take our art seriously but not ourselves (thank goodness!)

Using our unique approach of buckets of positivity, a heavy dose of empowerment,  oodles of laughter and a whole lot of fun, we help people transform their physical confidence, tap into their self-belief and remind them how bad ass they are…

We have weekly classes, Teacher Training Qualifications, Events, Performance Crews and Arena Tours. We have lots of fun whilst learning the fundamentals of all Street Dance styles including; Hip-Hop, House, Locking, Popping and Breaking (Breakdance).

Once upon a time...

We Started off with one class in a dusty village hall… Now we’ve performed more times at the O2 arena than Adele, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars and Beyonce combined, we’ve certainly come a long way! We’re super grateful to have achieved way more than we ever dreamt possible. It’s probably because we love what we do and want to do it better every single day. It’s more of a calling than a career. Our driving force is having the courage to push the boundaries and disrupt the status quo when we know it can and should be done better.  Making sure we do it consistently and with commitment- we go all in, we don’t know any other way, average bores us and striving for exceptional makes sure we jump out of bed each morning with a spring in our step! 

More than just a dance class...

Our community call themselves Striders, it’s an ethos that goes way beyond a few dance steps.  It’s something that sticks. A family atmosphere with encouragement, maximum support, and zero Judgement. People often make relationships for life through Urban Strides because they know when they are enjoying an Urban Strides experience they can be who they truly are.

Our promise

To empower you to aim high, live your life to the max, give you the self-belief to know you can do it and inspire you to dance today like there’s no tomorrow : )

Our secret sauce:

Is the R.E.A.L method. It’s our focus on the four key areas we feel have the most significant impact in your growth;

"Working with Andy and the Urban Strides team is always a pleasure, he makes the whole process a lot of fun and ensures we get a high quality performance at the end. He put me and my team at ease and before we knew it we were dancing like pro's. His creative suggestions and execution was spot on. I would heartily recommend Andy and Urban Strides for any Street Dance experience. Urban Strides make it fun, positive and an exciting experience-with their incredible passion and professionalism you can't help but want to get up and dance!”

- James Cordon
