Aloha, I am Lino Delgado, DJ Leanskee. Teaching is my life's work. I have taught breaking and Hip Hop workshops and master classes since 1983, and for about eight years I have been a teaching artist with Soundshop at the Honolulu Museum of Art.
I am a founding member of the Floorlords, started in Boston in 1981, and I was inducted into the Berklee Hip Hop Hall of Fame in 2024. I also served as a U.S. Cultural Ambassador with the State Department's Next Level program. When I teach, students get the real history along with the moves, from someone who was there when it started.
My workshops fit schools, youth centers, and festivals. Students learn the foundations of breaking and Hip Hop culture, and they leave with more than steps. They leave knowing where this culture comes from and what it can do for their own lives.
What is included
- Breaking foundations taught step by step
