För Wesley var dansen en räddning under en tuff uppväxt. På Åsa folkhögskolas danslinje lär han sig inte bara fem olika stilar inom streetdance, utan även att växa som människa.
You will explore through freestyling and develop your knowledge by studying a variety of topics, such as dance technique, history and culture. You will have dance classes every day within these different styles and additional afternoon classes such as physical, dance psychology and recovery.
