“Teaching people how to dance is about helping people to understand what they can already do with their body” says Damien, who’s been showing people the ins and outs of street-style dancing since 2004.
At the age of 13, at a week-long summer programme in Portsmouth, “There’s a video of everyone in the programme dancing to Bobby Brown. When I come on screen, I did a very awkward little dance and a weird forward roll. I caught the hype but had nothing else to back it up with, you can see other kids looking at the camera like “what’s this dude doing?”
