The teachers

Meet your teachers

Four teachers work at Breakdown. Duron and Layal teach the weekly classes, and two more join us for the monthly workshops.

  • Duron Weems, owner and lead teacher, in a black tee and joggers, leaning on a rack in the gym

    Duron Weems

    Owner, breaking and teen hip hop

    Duron started breaking in a Detroit basement and has taught teens ever since. He leads breaking, the teen hip hop classes and the crew, and he decides with each dancer when a power move is ready for the mats.

  • Layal Younis, teacher, in a head scarf and black practice clothes, leaning into a stretch at the barre

    Layal Younis

    Teacher, foundations and popping

    Layal grew up in Dearborn and found hip hop in a school dance club. She teaches the ages 10 to 12 classes and popping and locking, and she sets the crew's choreography with Duron.
