Elyard Street will come alive on Sunday October 24th with Narellan Rhythms 2009. We will transform Elyard Street into a community space for all ages. A space where you can build a drum, Krump, learn how to play it, do some Tai Chi, visit a refugee camp, learn how to belly dance and more.

The event aims to bring together our many geographically and culturally diverse communities via performances, music and artistic workshops and roving performances. The event will be held between the Narellan Library and Narellan Town Centre, with Elyard Street being closed for the day to enable these two important community spaces to unite in a day of celebration.

Here it is!

The first ‘Bang Out’ was a blast that took off and now we are bringing you starving Sydney crowds another Krump event.

The highly anticipated  “The Bang Out II’ is here.

Here in the heart of Sydney will be the most rugged, grimey and raw form of dance, straight from the streets to you.

Many have witnessed the expression be performed at many arts and community events; Now we bring you the battles. From Melbourne to Brisbane and now to the streets of Sydney.

Come down and support the event!
