Children can show off their best moves with Breakdance at Firstsite Holiday Fun this Summer in Colchester!

This session is a session for children who have had variable experience breakdancing. Most suitable for 4 – 11 years, but all ages welcome. Caregivers are required to stay on site throughout the activities.

Activities may take place outside. Please make sure those taking part in activities are dressed appropriately for the weather. 

Our Holiday Fun activities are for families facing economic challenges or who require additional support during the school holidays, including those that qualify for benefits-based free school meals.
