The Breakdance Academy

Hi All,

Quick one from me.

There will be a substitute teacher this weekend (Billy) - He was my breakdance teacher when I was 10 years old so certainly a breakdance master!

I will be returning as usual from next week after returning from holiday with my wife this weekend.

Just to make a quick mention to say all class changes have been made and this should be reflected in Pebble now - please give me a shout with any questions regarding subscriptions/ refunds/ class times etc.

Many thanks,
Blair

Hi everyone,

Update on classes returning from 18th April:

All Breakdance Academy students will temporarily move to Cramond Kirk Hall for this term only, running between 9:30am–12:30pm.

I understand this is a significant change from the Commonwealth, and I really appreciate your flexibility. This is a short-term solution, and we’ll have a new permanent home from August.

Key updates:
Class duration: Reduced to 45 minutes
Pricing: Reduced by 25% (for Commonwealth students)

Credits/Refunds:
If you’ve already paid for April at the Commonwealth, this will be credited back
If Cramond doesn’t work for you this term, you will of course receive a full refund

New class schedule:
9:30 – 10:15: Group 1
10:15 – 11:00: Group 2 (unchanged)
11:00 – 11:45: Group 3
11:45 – 12:30: Group 4

I’ll be emailing everyone individually to confirm which class your child should attend. Cramond students will mostly remain in their current levels, but there may be some adjustments depending on ability.

Thank you again for your understanding - I know this is a big change, but it was necessary, and I truly appreciate your support.

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Many thanks,
Blair

Hello all!

Nightmare has struck - the P&Gs Church is closed.

We will have to Cancel breakdance today!!

Really really sorry about this - I was assured we had a space secured but I have arrived and nobody is here…

Please do not make your way to Breakdance today.

I will update the next steps and of course refund today’s class!

Soo sorry all and I will keep you posted.

Thank you.
Blair

Hi everyone,

Due to unforeseen circumstances at the Commonwealth Pool, we need to move venue from this weekend. We’ve also made the decision to move on from the Commonwealth Pool as we look to secure a stronger long-term home for the academy.

We’re currently in the process of securing a new venue, and I’ll share full details as soon as that’s confirmed.

This Saturday, 28th March, classes at their usual class times (12:30/1:30/2:30) will be held at

PS & Gs Church (Across from the Omni Centre, city centre).

46 York Place

Edinburgh EH1 3HU

This does not impact Cramond Kirk students.

Please also note a slight date change on the class timetable:

- No classes over Easter weekend (4th)
- No classes the following weekend (11th)
- Classes will resume on 18th April at our new venue (TBC)

Apologies for any inconvenience caused, and I really appreciate your support while we make this transition.

Please get in touch with me if you have any questions relating to this change or any suggestions on possible venue options, feel free to get in touch.

Many thanks,

Blair

Hi All,

Hope you've had a lovely summer :D

Breakdance is BACK - Saturday 23rd August - Commy Pool - usual details.

Apologies, some people we're charged at the start of August but you all should have received a full refund so please let me know if there were any issues.

We have moved away from Class For Kids and have moved onto a new platform - Pebble.

There are only 17 slots per class and some are approaching capacity so please be quick if you want to secure your child's spot :)

If you have any questions around which class to book for your child - please get in touch with me directly.
