BODY ROCK BREAKING:

Train Like A Champion

A popular style of dance that emerged from hip-hop culture, breaking (break dancing) is a technical style of street dance that is set to long periods of musical ‘breaks.’ B-boys or B-girls are the technical terms for dancers who have mastered this discipline. Focused on power moves, freezes, and footwork, breaking takes rhythm and athleticism. It’s a great supplement to all-styles and hip-hop choreography but is distinctly different with its own unique movement foundation and elements.

Our kids breaking (break dance) program is all about FUN! Dancers are challenged to think creatively, put together concepts, use their imaginations, and emphasize their own style. BODY ROCK BREAKING is the premier breaking program in the Pacific Northwest and has contributed to the success of our advanced, competitive, and battle-ready B-boys, B-girls, B-kids, Body Rock Breaking Crew, and alumni. If your child is interested in breaking, the legacy of our program is unmatched!

Advancement Testing & Color System

The process of achieving a higher rank is called an “advancement.” Each new student starts off at the intro. level, white shirt, and achieves higher ranks (and shirt colors) through Advancement. The process of Advancement gets more difficult as the ranks become higher; students will have to present technical, foundational, and tactical skills they have learned throughout the program. This system was inspired by the colored belt system in martial arts. Instead of belts, we are using special shirts to represent what level students are in.

Why are we doing this system?

Transparency, clarity, and goal setting. Dance/art can easily be subjective. Implementing a system and curriculum with a detailed outline on how to advance to the next level in breaking (break dancing) will give students a clear checklist of goals to strive for in preparation for their Advancement. Parents will have transparency and clarity on what level their child is placed in and why, and guidance for areas in which their child needs to progress to attain the next level.

Jerome was further inspired to implement this system as the art/sport of breaking moves towards a more systemized format with the milestone of breaking being included in the Olympics for 2024. He is now a certified Olympic judge and is actively participating in continuing education for Olympic training, qualification requirements, adjudication, and more. The Body Rock Breaking program at BLS will be the first of its kind, designed to expand into a platform that could produce talent on a championship level. We want our students to dream BIG!

With that being said, JOY remains the primary core value of our coaching philosophy. We recognize that not every student has the same long-term goals for breaking but believe that the discipline, hard work, courage, and leadership it takes to be a B-boy/B-girl/B-kid will serve students in all areas of their lives.
