About us
Our Focus
Foundations
Without foundations within ANY style, the authenticity of how it is portrayed and danced is lost.
Knowledge
Hip hop is rooted in a rich social and historical. Understanding this means respecting the culture.
Identity
Being able to portray your personality through Hip-Hop elevates your freestyle ability.
Battles
To conversate, assess individual growth, and hone your craft. We simulate call-out battles amongst members whilst reinforcing a safe-space.
Community
We pride ourselves on unity and positivity inside and outside of training, We uplift each other and contribute to each others growth whilst maintaining respect.
Why choose us
Accelerated Musicality & Musical Intuition
Choreography teaches you to sync to set counts, but freestyle requires listening to the layers of a track—basslines, snares, etc., in real time
Raw Creativity Under Pressure
Without set steps to fall back on, freestyle forces you to develop a distinct personal vocabulary.
Real-Time Collaborative Feedback
Dancing solo can lead to creative blocks. A freestyle team acts as an active laboratory where teammates offer immediate feedback, share concepts, and challenge you to try new movement pathways.
Confidence Building & Career Versatility
In professional auditions, choreographers frequently ask dancers to “freestyle for 8 counts” to assess their natural groove and adaptability. A freestyle team prepares you directly for high-stakes freestyle battles, commercial auditions, and live stage work.
messages from our members, past and present
Time at D.A.C has been great. My favourite thing about D.A.C is the people. The people is what makes me come back every week, and the training is insane. I had no confidence as a freestyler when I joined, and now I’m at the point where I can say I’m a freestyler. D.A.C has helped me with confidence in my movement, as well as develop my own personal training.

Chapter I
Training with DAC for these last two years has been such an eye opening experience. when I first stepped into the space, I wanted was to find new ways to explore my creativity within freestyle. What I got was that and so much more. I trained in so many styles I never would’ve touched if I wasn’t in this space and I also fell in love with the art of battling. I never would have tried if I wasn’t in such a safe and trusting space.

Chapter I
I started since day 1, and since then D.A.C has helped me to grow. It’s helped me grow in my self-confidence. I really love the community here, because everyone has the same mindset of wanting to grow but to have fun at the same time. So that’s why I’ve loved my time here for the last two years. My favourite moments are the cyphers and battles.

Chapter I
Being at D.A.C was one of the first times I felt like I actually belonged in a dance community. It strengthened me as a person and as a performer and I was able to hone in on my personal style due to the training and support I received there. I’ll always speak highly of it because through all the different types of freestyle training I’ve had D.A.C has been the most impactful.
