The 2023 Red Bull BC One Paris World Final signals towards breaking’s highly anticipated sporting debut at the 2024 Paris Games. Breakers from all over the world are actively practicing in the hopes of representing their nation in the Olympics. We can put you in touch with Olympic hopefuls to talk about their preparation and what it means for breaking to be represented on such a significant, international stage.

Breaking has a long history and is a crucial component of hip-hop, which this year marks its 50th birthday. Breaking is evolving along with hip-hop, transcending its Bronx roots to appeal to audiences around the world and become a sport that is widely known. Across generations, thriving break communities have developed the culture that supports break while pushing the competitive street dance to new heights.
