Express Yourself in Kura Kaupapa Māori & Rūmaki 

Our vision is to empower Rangatahi through kanikani hip hop – to build the maia me te kaha in rangatahi and hip hop dance is the tool we use to bring out this mana. 

Express Yourself supports the mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing of our rangatahi by creating a safe space where they can move, learn, and express themselves. Since launching in 2018, we’ve engaged over 2,000 tamariki across 20+ schools. This year marks an exciting milestone: for the first time, we’ve brought our programme into Kura Kaupapa Māori and our rangatahi are absolutely thriving in their karaehe (classes). 

We’re proud to be working alongside the following kura:
TKKM o Piripono, TKKM o Manurewa, TKKM o Ngā Papaonekura, TKKM a rohe o Māngere, TKKM o Te Raki Paewhenua, and Te Rūmaki o Freemans bay, Te Rūmaki o Manurewa East.
