SURGE

BY DJ NATHAN

A one day dance workshop where boys can be boys

move

We begin with music, drumming, and high energy dance, where the boys are encouraged to jump in, loosen up, and feel the energy of the room. It's all hype, no cringe.

build

We then progress to working in teams to create basic movement patterns, share ideas, and create hype like a DJ. This is about learning that true power comes from brightness, not bravado.

lead

Some boys lead loudly, others more quietly - both matter. By the end of the day, each boy will help direct the energy in the room. It ends with 'Whoa... I can do this.'

"Perfectly pitched level with some challenge but achievable - chilled and a cool dance style."
- Nicole, Orlando's Mum

DJ / Choreographer / Teacher

'After nearly 15 years of DJing and teaching dance, I’ve seen how boys come alive when the music feels right and the room feels safe. This workshop creates a moment where boys can move, create, lead, and feel part of something together. Sometimes dance doesn't feel like it was built for them. But this does.'
