Our History

Freshmans Dance Crew is under the umbrella of Fresh Movement Arts Trust which and is one of New Zealand's most prominent fixtures in the Dance arena. 

In 2014 they captured multiple national titles and represented New Zealand at the HHI World Hip Hop Championships in Las Vegas. 

Upon returning from the world championships, Freshmans began to branch out and experiment with new ways to explore movement. From there they started to explore the theatre realm and continued to push for success in the competition sphere.

Freshmans have a unique and alternative approach to urban movement which gives them a fresh and infectious vibe.
