BREAK CITY SPORTS ÉTUDES
Street Dance Program | 2027–2028
Train with purpose. Develop your style. Discover your potential.
Break City is proud to partner with John Rennie High School in Pointe-Claire and École secondaire des sources to introduce a new Sport-Études program dedicated to street dance, beginning in the 2027–2028 school year.
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.
Whether students dream of becoming professional dancers, competing internationally, or simply taking their passion for dance to the next level, our goal is to help them reach their full potential.
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

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.
