Gravel Pit is a collaboration between Hiphophuis and Menno van Gorp  (Studio Blue Breaks), with the ELJA Foundation as the main financial partner and supported by Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur. Our mission is to inspire kids and teens aged 5 to 18 in Rotterdam-South to get into break, while also growing artistically and personally. We emphasize learning from different generations, in line with Hiphophuis’s theme Dancing on the Shoulders of Giants.

In early 2024, we started offering free practice sessions every Sunday, and we’ve now added a full weekly schedule of break classes. Beyond classes, Gravel Pit organizes workshops, jams, battles, and film screenings for a varied experience of hip-hop culture and its values.

Our teaching team includes Menno, Carlos Rocha, Mario Bee, Kings Vision, Sem, and Shane. We also regularly invite international guests to teach or lead open practices, ensuring a high-quality program that focuses on artistic excellence, dreaming big, and a sense of community.
