About

The Kidz Next Door is a breaking event dedicated to bringing together the next generation of dancers in Auckland's dance community.

Our goal is to create a space where kids can express themselves, build confidence, connect with others, and experience the culture of breaking beyond the classroom.

More than just a competition, it's about bringing the community together, encouraging creativity, and giving young dancers a platform to showcase their individuality, learn from one another, and grow.

Each One Teach One. Peace, Love, Unity & Having Fun!
