History of Breakdancing:
Breakdancing was founded by the black community and Puerto Rican kids in the 1970s. And it really became popular after James brown’s single “Get On The Good Foot” where his busted out his high energy footwork dancing. After that, the kids in New york started to copy his moves and eventually it evolved to be called b-boy or break dancing.
At that time most of the style was ground footwork combinations without any of the fancy stuff you see today like windmills or back spins that are popular today. There were also breakdancing battles between gangs or clicks.
Another dance called “uprock” influenced the b-boy dancers. In this dance style, the dancers mimic fighting moves into rhythmic dance moves that opponents would use to ‘battle’ against one another.
The music is not restricted to Hip Hop anymore. These days dancers choose Techno, Jazz, electronic, pop and an other types of music that suites their style.

Testimonials
For the longest time my son(bboy stronger) went to the program and loved it! he wishes he still went!
Anna Rodriguez
Brian has built a magnificent program that helps build confidence, character, and dance technique to top it off. I have three young boys who have found a passion for break dancing over the past few years from being part of the We Break Hip-Hop Dance company. In an age where kids are spending less and less time engaging socially and in physical activities, I commend We-Break for being committed to providing fun, healthy, social, alternative activities for our youth.
Thank you Brian and all of the other passionate teachers that make the We Break program what it is. My boys are learning skills that they will have for life. I know this program will continue to grow and become a dance academy that is renowned locally, nationally, and worldwide! Thank you WeBreak!

What are they like: children dancing breakdance?
1.
Strong and healthy
Breaking harmoniously develops all muscle groups, brings strength, coordination and balance to a new level. Each lesson is a full-fledged workout, in addition to the dance block, which includes a warm-up, general physical preparation and soft stretching.
Unlike monotonous fitness, breakdancing is ideal for children.
It is very important to help the child form a strong muscular corset and even posture, but I want the child to go to classes with pleasure, without eternal reminders and the need to literally drive him to training.
Children run to breakdance classes by themselves! After all, the child is really interested in the lessons, he sincerely gets high and is charged with a great mood.
2. Bright and creative
Children dance breakdance - and show their uniqueness to the fullest!
Combining movements into his own dance, mastering incredibly complex and spectacular elements, getting used to the role of a “cool dude” over and over again, the child develops acting skills, feels like the main character, becomes truly realized and self-confident on all one hundred.
3. Energetic and, at the same time, able to control their emotions
Constant running around, whims, and sometimes even fights for no reason - familiar?
All these “tricks” are the result of internal energy not released in a timely manner. The child needs time to discharge: both physically and emotionally.
Breakdance for a child, learning this style of dance in this case is best suited, because each lesson is both an active workout for all muscle groups and a complete emotional release!
After the lesson, the guys simply do not have the strength to fight, whims and running around.
Parents observe a happy and balanced child, able to instantly concentrate on important tasks: study, recreation, communication with relatives and friends.
4. Interested
If you observe in your child the “nothing to do” syndrome, breakdancing will save him from this ailment.
