What happens in a breakdance or street dance show?

Breakdancers and street dancers perform athletic, freestyle routines built on spins, freezes, footwork and power moves, often in a circle with guests gathered round. Crews can also perform tight choreographed routines to a set track.

Shows work as a short, high-energy set, a staged battle between dancers or a workshop where guests learn a few moves. It is a natural fit for brand activations, youth-focused launches, team events and parties with a modern feel.

Where it works best

Team events
A short workshop to get everyone moving.
Brand activations
Draws a crowd and gets phones out.
Product launches
Choreography built around a reveal.
Birthdays
A modern show for a milestone party.
Dance battles
Staged battles with guests as judges.
Weddings
A surprise set to open the dance floor.

Tips from our team

1
Brief us on your music
Crews can perform to their own mix or a track that fits your brand. We share it with your AV team.
2
Provide a hard floor
Spins and power moves need a smooth, hard surface. A dance floor or staging board works well.
3
Leave a clear circle
Breaking needs space around the dancer. We agree the area with your venue.
