Dance School Dream...
THE KAY Klass Hip Hop and Street School of Dance was launched in January 2006 and has developed in four locations in central Scotland - Falkirk, Stirling, Cumbernauld and Moodiesburn.
This small business, (which was set up with the assistance of a Business Gateway grant of £1000), has made great early progress, helping to create a fun sense of health and fitness through the art of dance and aerobics.
The classes are very popular with all age groups from children aged 3 years and above to adults of all ages. Kay Klass had a new and innovative style of dance school from the beginning, enabling anyone to join in, no waiting lists, no monthly payment schemes and no uniform requirement. This has made the dance school a great environment to exercise and at a limited cost.
How It All Began...
Kay Lang (26) runs the Kay Klass Hip Hop and Street School of Dance. Kay trained at Falkirk College gaining an HND Sports Coaching & Sports development Diploma, but has been dancing competitively since the age of 3 and now has more than 20 years experience in dance performance.
Latin American, Ballroom, Disco Freestyle and Rock 'n' Roll were the styles she performed at competition level through- out the UK.
Kay also sat dance examinations throughout her dancing lifestyle and completed all exams to the highest qualification. She continues to study all forms of dance to keep her skillset up-to-date with the latest dance trends and techniques.
However her love of dance remained and she become a qualified dance teacher with the UK Alliance of professional teachers of dancing. Hip Hop and street dance is Kay's passion along with Latin American and salsa.
Kay Klass in Action...
One of Kay's most ambitious projects has been with Glasgow City Council and Rangers Study Support Center coaching the dance projects that they offer to primary and secondary schools in Glasgow.
Four main dance projects - Mini Active (primary 1 - 2), SEN dance, Get Dance (Breakdancing Boys & Girls), Girls Get Active (Teenagers). From these dance projects a dance squad has been formed to promote dance, health and fitness and Kay is currently the dance squad captain.

Street dance, also called vernacular dance is an umbrella term, used to describe dance styles that evolved outside of dance studios in everyday spaces such as streets, school yards and nightclubs. Street dancing is a great outdoor sport to do with a group of friends. Sometimes street dancing becomes competitive and you should hold your own in a circle. Many people bring their radios out onto the streets, start up a groove and then wait for others to join in. You must be confident to start dancing on the street. They are often improvisational and social in nature, encouraging interaction and contact with the spectators and the other dancers.
Street dance is also commonly used specifically for the many hip hops and funk dance styles that began appearing in the United States in the 1970s, and are still alive and evolving within hip hop culture today: such as break dance, popping, locking, hip hop new style and house dance. These dances are popular on levels, as a form of physical exercise, an art form, and for competition, and are today practiced both at dance studios and other spaces. Some schools use street dance as a form of physical education. Generally, a street dance is based on a unique style or feels that are expressed through the dance, usually tied to a certain music genre. As new dance moves evolve based on this feel, the dance is under constant development, and if the feel starts to change it might give birth to a completely new dance form.
Street dancing entails many styles: popping locking, hip hop, break dancing which have different styles unto their own. Street dancing is usually freestyle meaning unchoreographed and improvisational. Some of the best dancers also interact with the crowd or whomever they are dancing against. The best place to observe is in nightclubs in the big cities. Street dancing has a particular kind of conduct so don't start cee-walking like a fool and expect to look good. Observe how they make circles aka cyphers and dance in the spotlight. If you're that interested they have classes just look up dance studios and ask about it. Take a look at you tube and search for popping, locking, breaking, etc. If you see a style you like ask the studios to teach you. Good luck!
