Crew’s success draws young dancers<br />
ANDREW KING<br />
Zion Studios has seen a huge<br />
increase in students after its<br />
recent success at the World<br />
Hip-Hop Championships in<br />
the Caribbean.<br />
The Papanui hip-hop dance<br />
studio’s adult team placed<br />
second after winning the<br />
national competition held in<br />
Martinique.<br />
Now aspiring dancers are<br />
flocking to the classes to get<br />
involved.<br />
Manager Carissa Crow said<br />
the roll normally sits around<br />
100 students.<br />
“We currently have 220<br />
enrolled. Around an extra 120<br />
that we are used to,” she said.<br />

after its crew, Polaroids’ success (right) at the World Hip-Hop<br />
Championships in the Caribbean.<br />
And it is not just the kids<br />
looking to get into hip-hop<br />
dancing.<br />
“We have quite a few adult<br />
enrolments on the back of our<br />
adult crew going overseas and<br />
doing so well,” she said.<br />
The trouble with a number<br />
of people wanting to get<br />
involved is finding enough<br />

teachers to get the classes<br />
grooving.<br />
“I have started an internship<br />
programme where we train<br />
year 12 and 13 students to be<br />
teachers. I have two from last<br />
year now teaching and four<br />
more coming through,” she<br />
said.<br />
The studio is keen to defend<br />
its national dance title again<br />
this year with six crews<br />
heading to Wellington in July.<br />
