What they say

I arrived at 27 thinking it was too late. Two years on I go out on Fridays with people I met in the circle, and Tomás still corrects my bounce.
Rafael Cordeiro
Hip Hop II student, Marvila -
Leonor used to leave school dragging her feet and runs into Bloco. Mafalda knows every child's name and sends us the choreography video at the end of the month.
Joana Esteves
Leonor's mother, 8 · Almada -
I started in Breaking I afraid of the floor. Now it is where I leave the week. Wednesday's class in Marvila is full and I am on the waiting list, waiting for the second one to open.
Bruna Sampaio
Breaking student, Almada
It still is. Classes have levels so you know where to walk in, not to keep you out; the circle closes every class; and the first class is on us because the first time was never paid for. In 2022 we crossed the bridge to Almada, where half our students already lived. Two schools, one crew. Come in.
Who founded Bloco
A word from Tomás
I learned to dance in the street, in Marvila, with a radio and a glass wall for a mirror. There was no school: there were people who knew more and people who wanted to learn, and a circle at the end. Bloco opened in 2016 to be that, with a decent floor and a timetable.
Your first class is on us
Come and try
Tell us the style and the school, Marvila or Almada, and we reply with the level I classes that have a place this week.
