FULL FORCE: From Cinderella Story to World Stage
Help Full Force — our hard-working Kiwi kids crew — represent New Zealand at the Hip Hop World Champs in Prague!
Christchurch, Canterbury
Full Force - a junior hip hop crew from Anna Lee School of Dance in Christchurch - pulled off a true Cinderella moment: they WON their division at nationals and earned the honour of representing New Zealand at the World Hip Hop Championships in Prague this October!

It’s a dream opportunity - but with no prize money or automatic funding, we need help to make it happen. Costs include flights, rego, accommodation, NZ uniforms, and time to train with the wider NZ crew. While there are many expenses, this Givealittle is just to help cover essential travel costs for the dancers and their coach.
Our crew - Barnaby, Dylan, Franklin, Isobel, Izabela, Mia, Olivia, and Zoe (aged 9-12) - are led by coach/choreographer Keisha who is just 20 herself! 💙🧡
It’s over $6,300 per dancer, coach and manager, travelling modestly, (not including chaperones!)
This isn’t just about dance. It’s about pride, opportunity, and backing our Kiwi kids to shine on the world stage.
No amount is too small. $5, $10, $100 - every bit helps, and we are grateful! Every share lifts.
Let’s get Full Force to the world!
Use of funds
Any money raised will go towards the Crew of 18 people, travelling to the world Hip Hop Unite championships in Prague in October. Or if Prague remains out of reach it will send the crew to the Australasian Champs in Sydney.

So close... but still a gap to close.... 2 October 2025
We’ve been working hard – our set is looking better than ever, our haka and waiata are coming together, and our NZ uniforms are on their way! We’re almost ready to fly to Prague and represent Aotearoa.
We’re still a bit short of our fundraising target, which makes the trip a stretch – but we’re determined to get there and make you proud. So we’re keeping this page open a little longer… just in case our Unicorn donor (or 10!) gallops out of the woodwork to help close the gap.
To everyone who has already donated, cheered us on, or shared our story – thank you. Your support means the world, and we can’t wait to carry it with us on the world stage!
