Designed for students from Secondary 1 to 5, this program offers the opportunity to combine academic education with intensive, specialized dance training in a creative and supportive environment.

A Complete Street Dance Education

Our mission is to develop well-rounded, versatile dancers through high-quality training rooted in the foundations, techniques, music, and culture of street dance.

Rather than focusing on a single dance style, students will explore multiple disciplines, developing their own movement vocabulary, creativity, confidence, and artistic identity.

Dance styles

Hip Hop Foundations: Groove, bounce, rock, social dances, freestyle, and musicality.
Breaking: Toprock, footwork, freezes, power moves
Popping & Locking: funk foundations, character, and expression.
House: Footwork, jacking, rhythm, flow, and improvisation.
Krump: Energy, character, expression, and movement exploration.

Training will also incorporate conditioning, choreography, cyphers, battles, creative projects, and an understanding of street dance history and culture.

Our Four Pillars of Development



Foundations

Develop strong technical skills and an understanding of the origins, movement vocabulary, and fundamentals of each dance style.



Musicality

Build rhythm, groove, timing, listening skills, and the ability to interpret music through movement.



Creativity & Individuality

Encourage freestyle, experimentation, personal expression, and the development of each dancer’s unique style.



Culture & Community

Connect students to the authentic culture of street dance through cyphers, battles, jams, history, collaboration, and respect.

More Than Just Dance Training

The Break City Sport-Études program is designed to develop skills that extend beyond the dance floor.
Through consistent training, teamwork, creative challenges, and personal development, students will build discipline, confidence, resilience, collaboration, and independence.
Our multidisciplinary approach allows students with different backgrounds and experience levels to grow together while progressing toward their individual goals.

Where Can Street Dance Take You?

Our program aims to provide students with the fundamental skills, knowledge, and experience to pursue a wide range of professional and personal opportunities, including:

Professional dancer
National and international battle competitor
Choreographer or creative director
Professional stage or circus performer
Dance educator or instructor
Professional dance company or crew member
Dance entrepreneur
Film, television, or digital media performer

Dance Doesn't Have to Be a Career to Be Valuable

Not every student dreams of becoming a professional dancer, and that’s perfectly fine.
For some, dance will become a lifelong passion, a creative outlet, a way to stay active, or an important part of their personal identity.
Our goal is to provide every student with the tools to grow, discover their potential, and carry their love of movement and creativity throughout their lives.
