Absolutely hands down one of the most awesome, entertaining dance performances I have ever seen!…read more Yep, the Phunk Phenomenon-- including Junior Phunk (8-12 year olds) and Lil Phunk (6-13 year olds who perform at half-time dring Celtics games!!! ...and are my new personal heroes)-- performed at AIDS Walk Boston this year. And let me tell you, they rocked the place to the ground. They grooved, they shaked. They breakdanced. They did crazy isolations. One kid had a mohawk. One kid got up there and tore it up all by himself on stage! Backflips happened. Dancers came flying off the stage. I'm telling you, these kids can MOVE. Meanwhile, the crowd was going wild. We had about 15,000 people on the Hatch Shell that day, all dancing, cheering, smiling, and having a blast. Afterward, the feedback was amazing-- people LOVE the Phunk Phenomenon, and want them back. I just wish that I had joined the Phunk Phenomenon when I was 8 years old! Maybe then my "robot" would be more believable. Le sigh. Anyway, check out their website (it's highly entertaining!!), enroll your kids in classes, and get to a performance as soon as you can!

The owner is very professional but has a great personality especially when working with younger children ... She makes it feel like a big happy family, makes dance fun more than just an "extracurricular activity" for the kids. It's conveniently located on Rt. 114 w/ parking right out front or on the side of the building, no more driving around the block while waiting for class to end lol ... They also have a great competition team that has won many awards for groups, solos, and wonderful choreography.

Now as it transitions from Mass Motion Dance North to Bosoma School of Dance, and is changing locations to Hamilton, which is not so close, I am more than happy to bring my daughter to the new location. I would follow Katherine almost anywhere. She creates a warm and nurturing atmosphere for the dancers, and the technique and choreography is unlike any we have seen at any other studio. If you have the opportunity, bring your kids in for a trial lesson, you won't be disappointed.
