This workshop explores key concepts from breaking practice, focusing on how steps can be shaped by the places in which you belong, in Seba’s case Chile and the UK. The first part of the session will dive into the physical foundational components of footwork in breaking. You’ll start by examining how these movements can be understood and applied across various dance disciplines.

Afterwards you will explore steps/flows based on the Dulces Chilenos (Chilean Sweets), which is a style derived from the foundational breaking Eurostyle’s “Pretzels”. To end, you will use some of this vocabulary to expand your own movement vocabulary.

Part of Sadler’s Wells Artist Development Programme: Artist-Led Sessions. You can find out more about the selection process for this programme online here.

He wears trainers and jeans; his feet are flexed, and his legs make a v shape, whilst he points forward with his left hand. Seba is on a small white and black checkered floor, and a crowd watches behind him.
