Bello Hip Hop Crew lessons will be starting up and running every Thursday at the Mem Hall from the first week of school until the end of the term. They culminate in the next Local M.A.D.E. show to be held on Friday 24th Sept (last day of term) at the Mem Hall: “Can Bello CruNK?” Well we’ll see!
The Bello Crew is a collaborative project where people can learn and share skills with friends and professionals. There are lessons in: Dance – for beginners and advanced by the very experienced BBoy Quinn (been doin’ it for 26 years!); Graffiti lessons with Snarl; DJ lessons with DJ Noodles & Xplicit Aktz; Beat Boxing with Rockerz of Zion; Rapping with Ran MC and others . It’s only $10 per session and you can pick and choose what you want to do, it’s all happening at one spot, Local M.A.D.E. Central. All welcome! Just turn up, get into it, have some fun and, if you want, perform at the September Local M.A.D.E!
Also in the mix are band competitions (at a yet to be decided venue) and technical production workshops with Tony Allison (Generations). We are accepting applications from all groups and artists for the next and future events now…
