Our story.

Shake was founded in 2003 by Rachel King. Her dream was to create a fun and welcoming community where everyone could access the high quality street dance training she had experienced in London, New York and LA.

Shake quickly became one of the UK’s most respected street dance schools, giving hundreds of people a home to enjoy learning to dance, build confidence and be a part of performances and competitions they will never forget.

Twenty years later, we are still dedicated to doing things ‘The Shake Way’ knowing that success grows in an environment where everyone can be themselves and fun is always prioritised. We are proud to have dancers from age 4 travelling from across the South Coast to train with us and to have supported many dancers into professional careers.
