On June 13th 2009, Darrio will be teaching a Krump Workshop to spread knowledge ‘Of the Krump Movement’ and the new and exciting artform of which it has become.  Darrio and his fellow Krumps (The Eminent Family) will also be showcasing their talents on the day.

Darrio will be heading off to Youth Speak this weekend (18-19 April ‘09).

Here, there will be a group of Youth Support Organisations collaborating to present on the day.

The Sunday outline focuses on the Development of Elements program - this program is supporting young local artists to develop a local Hip Hop cultural network - bringing young people from all backgrounds in and around Wagga Wagga together to foster mutual respect for one another as they help mentor other young people in the community.

The Sunday events involve working with Wagga Wagga City Council as part of their Re-generate program that they bring to the young people of Wagga Wagga every year.

The Weekend will prove to be yet another rewarding experience, working with local youths, promoting Darrio’s love of Hip Hop and passing it on to the Community.

Starting this Monday 2nd of February, Darrio will be in Launceston TN teaching workshops for the TASDANCE Summer School.  This is a great program, formatted for all levels of student.

Make sure you come down and support Tasdance Summer School, or just meet Darrio in person.
