Dad Dancers Break It Down in Brighton Battle for a Cause

Brighton: Dad dancers to stage breakdance battle Dads aged 40 and over in Brighton are set to showcase their breakdancing skills in a friendly battle this coming Sunday. The event, dubbed the "Old School Block Party," aims to raise funds for a project focused on combatting social isolation among male caregivers. Organized by Dad La Soul, a community initiative, the breakdance battle will unfold at The Brighton Open Air Theatre from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm BST. In addition to the dance-off, the event promises an entertaining lineup featuring DJ sets, graffiti artists, and circus performers, making it a family-friendly affair for all to enjoy. Dan Flanagan, the founder of the project, expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming event, highlighting the misconception surrounding "dad dancing." "The term dad dancing is used to mock, but plenty of us lads still know how to get down," Flanagan commented, emphasizing the fun and spirited nature of the gathering. The breakdance battle not only provides a platform for dads to showcase their dance moves but also serves as a means to support an important cause. By raising funds to address social isolation among male caregivers, the event aims to foster a sense of community and solidarity among participants and attendees alike. As the anticipation builds for the "Old School Block Party," Brighton residents can look forward to an afternoon filled with music, art, and dance, all in support of a meaningful initiative. This unique event not only celebrates the talents of dads but also underscores the importance of coming together to address societal challenges and promote inclusivity within the community.
