Shabba-Doo

The world’s most fam­ous, pro­lific, and accom­plished street dan­cer, award-winning cho­reo­grapher, and star of Breakin’ and Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, Adolfo “Shabba-Doo” Quinones aka Ozone, is up in the place… The place of course, being London!

Shabba-Doo is an ori­ginal, Soul Train Gang Member • Original, found­ing mem­ber of the legendary, 70s street-dance troupe of fame, The Lockers (there were only 7 mem­bers, see: www.thelockersdance.com), codi­fier and pro­gen­itor of the Waackin’ dance style.

With all attrib­utes con­sidered, Shabba-Doo is truly a street-dance icon, pion­eer, and legend. We urge teach­ers and stu­dents alike to make Shabba-Doo’s work­shop an essen­tial part of your edu­ca­tion. For one day only, learn the true tech­nique and ter­min­o­logy of Locking, Shway Style (Waackin’), and Soul Power, “the found­a­tional build­ing blocks of soul dance” right here in London!

What to expect from each lesson

Shabba-Doo is part of a unique cadre of street­dance pion­eers and the most suc­cess­ful street­dan­cer of all time. For his gen­eral les­sons Shabba-Doo will take you through the true essence of the ori­ginal dance styles includ­ing orgins and mood. Then once mastered Shabba-Doo will help you build on those style by show­ing the evol­u­tion to how it was per­formed and, in many cases, still per­formed today. Each les­son will con­clude with a dis­cus­sion on the his­tory and orgin of the styles related to that class. A true inform­a­tion feast.
