MSB Workshop - Breaking

Victor Jay is leading a breaking workshop at Gloucester Guildhall on Friday 13 November, part of the MSB 2026 Weekend. Jay is one of the judges for MSB 2026, so this is a chance to get a session with one of the people who'll be scoring the main event.

The workshop sits within the Guildhall's community programming, which they run alongside partners like Dance In Gloucestershire (DiG) and Your Next Move (YNM), a street dance crew born right here in Gloucester. That local connection is worth keeping in mind: YNM grew out of the city's own scene, so the whole thing is rooted in the dance community that already exists around here rather than being something dropped in from the outside.

As for who it's for, the session is pitched at everyone from those just starting out on a hip hop journey to seasoned dancers sharpening their skills. If you've never stepped foot on a dance floor, it's a way in; if you've been breaking for years, it's a chance to work on your form. The breaking workshop shares the weekend with a popping class and a hip hop class, both also run by MSB 2026 judges, so if you're into street dance, there's more than one style to pick from across the few days.

The wider weekend also brings back the Gloucester Origins Jam, which launched in 2025 and includes another night devoted entirely to breaking. Between the workshop and the jam, there's a good amount of breaking concentrated in one place over the weekend. The workshop is on Friday 13 November at Gloucester Guildhall.
