History
Established in 2012.
In 2003, the original founders shared a passion for dance and noticed the lack of resources for Breaking and Hip Hop education in Colorado. Together with many others, they founded a formidable dance crew. The crew then turned into a non-profit and successfully organized community jams and local events. They eventually transformed themselves into the School of Breaking and have been operating the school happily in Aurora since 2012.
