THE JUNIOR CREW
The Junior Crew are a team of focused, positive, and passionate young dancers who intend on pushing themselves to be the best they can be. Your child will join an empowering team that uses the ‘R.E.A.L Method’ to encourage them to evolve into the healthiest & happiest version of themselves. Giving them more courage to achieve their goals in their dance life, school life and helping nourish relationships at home. Each year we offer the opportunity for young people aged between 7-14 to audition and become part of this elite team.
: STEPPING UP
PICTURE THIS…
Take a moment to picture your child coming out of their first Junior Crew session, beaming with excitement and jumping for joy…that is something every parent should be able to experience.
We know that it can be hard for your child to find their “thing” and their tribe. During your child’s formative years, it is crucial for them the be surrounded by a nurturing and energising environment. In the Junior Crew your child will finally be able to thrive and be their true selves, while working hard on individual and team goals.

We have the tools required and a multitude of success stories that ensures this is an opportunity worth going for.

OUR UNIQUE 3 STEP METHOD…
When you watch an Urban Strides Junior Crew performance, we want you to be blown away by the standard of Street Dance, energy and performance your child can attain. The heart of Urban Strides education is all about building your child’s confidence in a positive and passionate environment.
Here’s how we do it…
: GO HARD OR GO HOME
STEP 1 – POSITIVE ACTION
To become successful in any area of life your child must take consistent positive action. Sometimes life goes our way and sometimes it doesn’t. But no matter what, we teach your child to keep going, keep taking steps and keep taking positive action. This philosophy ensures they understand the need for a solid work ethic and that if they continue to strive, they will get there in the end.
: LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!
STEP 2 – PERFORMANCE
Your child will learn the skill set and techniques required to deliver a high-level performance within a focussed and committed team. Having an experience of what it’s like to work towards an end goal, not only gives them a personal sense of achievement, but also teaches the importance of working together to create something you couldn’t do alone. We help your child develop their self-belief so that when they stand on stage, they show who they really are. At Urban Strides we seek to improve your child’s quality of life, not just quality of dance life!
: Relighting your fire
Step 3 – Empowerment
Your child’s eyes will be opened to what’s possible and help inspire them to push themselves to achieve what they’re capable of. We help raise your child’s expectations of what they can achieve so they understand from an early age that it’s okay to dream big. This is coupled with an ability to break their dreams down into small goals so they can see that achieving something big takes time, dedication, practice, and commitment.
When selected for the Junior Crew your child will enjoy:
Dramatically increased Street Dance ability, giving them exciting opportunities in their future and developing more self-belief in the process
Nurturing family environment created by a strong sense of unity, to generate a thriving learning experience and the support they need to truly be themselves
Clear, personal, and specific tips for improvement, delivered with empathy and understanding to ensure faster progression rates
New life-long friendships that will support them through thick and thin, inside and outside of the studio
Discounts including 50% off all additional class fees, discounts off clothing and discounts off Hip Hop Don’t Stop

Parents
Our parents are at the core of the Junior Crew. Without their unwavering support of our education philosophies the Junior Crew simply wouldn’t exist. Because of the goals and objectives that the Junior Crew have, it is imperative you’re fully aware of the commitment and support required if you want your child to enjoy the fantastic benefits on offer.
We need you to:
- Believe in the Urban Strides values of hard work, dedication, commitment and fun!
- Appreciate that becoming exceptional takes time and will not happen over night
- Support and respect the decisions made by the Urban Strides team
- Be an active ambassador for Urban Strides and your child’s crew
- Ensure your child attends every rehearsal
- Share the core belief that if you want something you have to work for it
: Practice makes progress
what to expect
The audition will be very different to a ‘typical’ audition. We appreciate it can be nerve wracking for you and your child, so we go over and above to ensure the experience is as relaxed and fun as can be, so it feels more like one of our classes and less like a pressure cooker! We are looking for dancers with not necessarily the best technique but with the drive to fully immerse themselves within the crew and the passion to give it their all every week, inside and outside of the studio.
Because the Junior Crew is an audition-based opportunity the techniques they will experience will be advanced. During training they will be developing their confidence in performance skills, musicality, showmanship, teamwork and freestyle. We find for children of this age the most successful approach is to make our training methods fun and exciting, so they dramatically improve in confidence and fitness levels whilst having a laugh at the same time!
