WeBreak has been amazing for my son! My son started in the beginners breakdancing class over a year ago & has really blossomed in so many ways.
We are incredibly grateful to Coach Darryl for keeping the classes so fun for all of the kids & is always a positive role model for the kids. Coach Darryl truly cares about the kids & their progress.
Definitely highly recommended!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Miss M.Costa Mesa, CA16982Jan 14, 2024
My son was so excited to try break dancing!
Something he had been naturally good at without lessons.
We went with the Costa Mesa location and began the classes.. initially everything was going good.
During the 2 month program (approximately) the instructor notified us he'd be gone for multiple weeks within that timeframe, giving us an opportunity to make up classes when he got back. Upon his return, we were attempting to make up these classes that we had paid for but we were unable to use during his absence. During these make up classes clearly the instructor came back in a different mood, I do not believe that this gentleman is adequate to be around children. He bullied my child, and in a sense "checked him ". This man has zero experience, dealing with children and asked my child not to come back to his classes. classes that I had paid for him to go to when my son came back he was so embarrassed he didn't even feel comfortable telling me. I found out the following week right before practice. he told me mom the instructor said I couldn't come back didn't he call you? I was completely astonished what kind of teacher would tell a young seven-year-old that he's not allowed to come back to dance class?
What's even more unfortunate about this is this was something that my son was very excited for and this inadequate staff member has absolutely ruined the entire idea of breakdancing because he was so humiliated being asked not to come to class as a seven-year-old!!!!!!
My son has been in a private faith-based education system since he was three years old. He has always gotten awards for being the kind child and sticking up for kids that are being bullied. He has never been reprimanded for being unkind to other children and this is the claim that the teacher falsely made in an attempt to justify his extremely poor behavior.
When I spoke to the owner, I was a bit shocked for One that he was a business owner based upon how he handled it and his inability to take accountability for his own staff member. Instead, he made up excuses and more so lent to believing the staff member that kicked out a small child from his dance class.
Apparently multiple kids were high energy that class and goofing around, and the instructor clearly has no experience and how to manage children that are goofing around. My child explained that other children would not leave him alone and he was trying to concentrate. I have all the videos to prove as we video the classes throughout , my child was not misbehaving and the instructor completely lied to cover up his extremely poor behavior when speaking to the owner I assumed that I would get a call from the instructor apologizing instead I got a very pathetic text message that he clearly considered an apology.
Following that, I assumed that the owner would be making up for this, considering that I had not gotten my moneys worth with the two month program as the teacher was gone for multiple weeks and then did not allow my child to make up these missed classes that the teacher was gone for .
As a business owner myself, I was just shocked and appalled at this entire experience. It's really scary that there are people around children that should be nowhere near them.
I'd even asked for a private instructor with somebody different so that my son could continue through this program and never heard back nor did I get any sort of compensation for all of the classes.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Seth O.Long Beach, CA013Jun 25, 2023

My 7 year old son has been going to WeBreak for about two years now. He's currently in the intermediate class. He's having so much fun and looks forward to his class every week. He has also gotten so much better at breaking since beginner class. The instructors are so great with the kiddos too. Highly recommend!

Brian has refunded us gas money for the 2 days that his instructor failed to show up. My son enjoys the class and Brian is a good teacher.

However, this year's experience has been horrible. The instructor Alex didn't show up for the 2nd class & the kids left after waiting for 30 mins. CEO Brian Wright gave some lame excuse 1.5 hrs after the class's start time to explain the "mix-up". Instructor Alex didn't show up again for the 3rd class. Once again, no communication from Alex or Brian until one of the parents called Brian 15 minutes into the lesson. Once again, some lame excuse. Alex supposedly had car trouble yet none of the parents were notified until we placed the phone call to Brian. The lack of professionalism is appalling. Our email to him regarding restitution for wasting 3 hours of our time plus gas was ignored.

We hired an instructor to my 3 year old's birthday party in our backyard, and the memories are priceless. All the neighbor kids learned some moves, had a blast one upping each other, and loved it when the parents got in on the action too! So fun!

Wanted a fun dance class for my 4 year old son so we enrolled him in the Wee Breakers preschool level class and have been very pleased. It's high energy, constant motion class. Because my son is rather introverted I was worried he'd be too shy to participate. I had to sit in the middle of the dance floor with him for the first class, but the teacher acted as if I wasn't even in the way and worked around me so that my son was still able to participate. By the next class my son was eager to participate on his own and even if he still resists some of the class aspects (the ones that require him to try new things while being the center of attention) there is no pressure for him to perform and as a result he has a blast and can't wait to get home and practice. They put up a bunch of videos on their YouTube so you can follow (although I wish they'd make a playlist for the preschoolers!) And the kids are welcome to participate in a recital at the end of the session. We're very happy and look forward to several more sessions.

Brian has built a magnificent program that helps build confidence, character, and dance technique to top it off. I have three young boys who have found a passion for break dancing over the past few years from being part of the We Break Hip-Hop Dance company. In an age where kids are spending less and less time engaging socially and in physical activities, I commend We-Break for being committed to providing fun, healthy, social, alternative activities for our youth. Thank you Brian and all of the other passionate teachers that make the We Break program what it is. My boys are learning skills that they will have for life. I know this program will continue to grow and become a dance academy that is renowned locally, nationally, and worldwide! Thank you WeBreak!

My kiddos are LOVING their break dancing class with We Break. The instructors are not only skilled in breaking, but great with kids. They manage to hold their attention for a full 45 mins which is hard to do with toddlers/preschoolers. I love how the class teaches them the fundamentals of breakdancing-reinforcing the names of the moves as well as the proper technique. The class builds on itself and each session is a bit different which is nice because it keeps the kids interested. We even decided to have a breakdancing party for the kid's birthdays this year and will have one of the instructors come out for a lesson! They are super excited to share what they've been learning with their friends. I highly recommend this class for anyone interested in the art of breakdancing. It's a bit more specific than your average "hip hop" dance class for kids and will lay a perfect foundation for anyone interested in the art of breaking!
