Break-dancing officially known as breaking is set to debut as an Olympic sport at the Paris Games promising captivating performances and showcasing acrobatic movements set to music. The sport characterized by athleticism and creativity has gained popularity since its successful debut at the 2018 Youth Olympics. Breaking joins other new sports like surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing reflecting the International Olympic Committee’s effort to engage younger audiences.
At the Paris Olympics, 16 B-boys and 16 B-girls will compete in solo battles displaying their skills in top rock, down rock, power moves and freezes. Judges will determine the medalists marking the first breaking medalists in Olympic history. The U.S. Olympic breaking team includes two B-boys and two B-girls with Sunny Choi and Victor Montalvo already qualified. Breaking originating from hip-hop culture in the Bronx has evolved into a global phenomenon with the USA emerging as a frontrunner in the sport.
Various initiatives have contributed to breaking resurgence including the establishment of breaking schools and the involvement of organizations like the World DanceSport Federation and USA Dance. With its inclusion in the Olympics breaking is poised to captivate audiences worldwide and inspire a new generation of athletes.
