Breaking Open Jam: with BGirl Ambush

If you have been looking for a space to work on your dance technique or just want to get more comfortable with freestyle, there is a recurring series of sessions happening at South East Dance that might be worth noting. The Breaking Open Jam, led by professional dancer BGirl Ambush, is running regularly from 18 May 2026 through to 21 December 2026. It is designed as a mix between a workshop and a jam session, aiming to help dancers develop their personal style and build confidence for cyphers or battles.

The sessions are open to a wide range of experience levels, from beginners to those already working professionally. The focus is on practical skill-building, providing an environment where you can test out new movements or refine existing ones without the pressure of a formal competition. BGirl Ambush, who is a member of the London-based company Risky Business and has experience as a Red Bull BC One competitor, facilitates these sessions. Her background spans both theatrical performance and street-style battles, which informs the approach taken during these jams.

These sessions take place at the South East Dance venue, located at 28 Kensington Street, Brighton, BN1 4AJ. The cost to attend is £15.00 per session. Whether you are looking to sharpen your technical abilities or simply want to spend time in a space dedicated to dance practice, the structure of these jams is intended to accommodate different goals. It is a straightforward setup: you show up, participate in the workshop or the jam, and use the time to work on your craft alongside others in the local dance community.
