NOT A GYMNASTICS CLASS
Breakin’ at Danzversity is rooted in Hip Hop culture, not in flips and tricks. Foundation before flash — always. Students learn where every move comes from, why it matters, and how it connects to the broader Hip Hop culture they experience in their regular classes. It is culture over competition, the same standard behind the Elemental Dance Method our youth programs are built on.
This is for students ages 8–17 who want to learn a complete discipline — with its own vocabulary, physical demands, cultural history, and community ethic.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Real breakin’ vocabulary across four foundational categories. Progression is based on demonstrated control — not time.
TOPROCK
Standing footwork and rhythm patterns. The beginning of every set. Apache Step, Brooklyn Rock, Cross Step, Salsa Step.
DOWNROCK
Floor-based footwork on hands and feet. 6-step, 3-step, CC — the vocabulary that defines your style on the ground.
FREEZES
Held positions that punctuate a set and demonstrate control. Baby Freeze, Chair Freeze, Headstand variations.
POWER MOVES
Dynamic spinning and momentum-based movements. Windmill intro, Backspin — earned through foundation, not rushed.
EVERY CLASS STARTS WITH A CULTURE DROP
Your child won’t just learn the moves — they’ll learn where the moves come from. Who built this. What crew, what era, what borough. That’s the Danzversity way.
TAUGHT BY BBOY WICKET
Gabriel “Bboy Wicket” Jaochico — Renegade Rockers since 1993, world champion crew. He’s judged Red Bull BC One and Battle of the Year, choreographed for Usher, Will Smith, and Christina Aguilera, appeared in You Got Served, and is the subject of the 2025 documentary Wicket. Now he’s teaching your kid Wednesday nights in Austin.

12-WEEK BREAKIN’ SERIES
$360 for the full 12-week series — that’s $30 a class, showcase included — or split it into 3 monthly payments of $120. No drop-ins: one crew, twelve weeks, one stage.
A SERIES, NOT A MEMBERSHIP
Membership is a practice. A series is a journey. Our weekly youth classes are ongoing memberships — join anytime, first class free, month to month, and you never graduate. Breakin’ is different by design: one crew of dancers, twelve weeks, building week-on-week to a stage. That’s why it has a fixed start date, one flat price, and no drop-ins — the whole room climbs together.
Want to feel the Danzversity room before committing? Take a free youth class — the series is the commitment.
Every Series Ends on Stage
At the end of each cycle, breakin’ students perform at the Danzversity Showcase — in front of family, friends, and the full Danzversity community. This is what you’re building toward.
Where This Leads
Students who build their foundation and show up for their crew move up to the Breakin’ Team — from the cipher, to the stage, to the battle.
WHAT TO WEAR
