What can I say, this place is an incredible community sanctuary dripping with Hip Hop history and culture. The classes are taught by world class instructors who care deeply about preserving the integrity of the form. The community is hard working, caring, and excited to be there. Ian (owner and instructor) has worked with all ages and many levels of learning and experience and expects the same from all of the instructors. I have been taking class here for 4 years now and am just as inspired and excited to be there than ever before. It is a comfortable and clean space that is welcoming to all. They

Long overdue, because I just got Yelp! But I've been to B-Boy Factory multiple times in the past decade, whenever I visit Denver, CO, and it is a very dope spot! Open Sessions / Top Rock Class / Foundation Class / B-Girl Class (AsiaOne, Bgirl Pioneer even teaches here!)
Most people don't know where to take breaking (breakdance) because most private dance studios focus on other dance styles (Hip-Hop Choreography/Ballet/Jazz/Tap/Contemporary), but luckily this studio's primary focusing is breaking! The owner Ian Flaws is very committed to the art form and even went to Korea and

This is a community driven breakdance studio for all ages, bringing creative people together to keep the hiphop element alive in the youth and offering support to those who love the scene. I personally train here from time to time, if your looking to teach your kids the art of dance and help them build confidence as a perdon bring them by or check out The Bboy Factory online for schedules.

We are only a few classes in and we already know we'll be spending a lot of time here. Our 8 year old loves working with Ian. Ian has this way of teaching life lessons along with dance. He's able to push our kiddo to a higher standard, but also shows patience and acceptance. We're already seeing growing confidence and tenacity. We are SO happy we found this place, highly recommend for anyone!
