Kwan Chan
Hello! こんにちわ！Bonjour! Hola! 你好!
My name is Kwan and I'm from Toronto, Canada. Breaking, also known as b-boying, b-girling, or breakdancing, is my greatest passion. I started breaking more than 16 years ago. Ever since I started, I've come to love everything about breaking: the music, the culture, the history, the people, the competitions, the training, the creativity, and so much more.
Now, through breaking, my mission is to enrich, enliven, and enlighten others.
- Enrich: Improve the quality of people’s mind, body, and spirit.
- Enliven: Bring fun, joy, and excitement into people’s lives.
- Enlighten: Educate about breaking, dance, and hip-hop culture.
I guarantee to teach with respect, professionalism, and authenticity. When it comes to breaking, I teach from my heart and soul.
I welcome all skill levels. My main language is English, but I can also speak a bit of Japanese (N3) and Cantonese (conversational).
My Dance Background
I consider my mentors and teachers to be dancers in the Toronto break scene who emphasize style, musicality, creativity, originality, and authenticity, elements of the dance that I also tend to focus on. I specialize in an area of breaking called footwork and have developed my own unique and original style.
Throughout my time breaking, I have competed and trained with some of the best breakers in the world. Most recently, I have been living in Japan for the past 7 years where I have been training and competing. In September 2023, I moved to London to embark on a 2-year graduate program in dance therapy.
If you would like to see more of my dancing, then please feel free to check out my Instagram profile or check out my breaking reel!
Thank you again for your interest in taking classes with me. I hope you can join me on the dance floor soon!
Peace and love,
Kwan
