From the first cypher of the day to the final rounds, breaking is one of the loudest, most physical parts of Hip-Hop Summit Denver. Dancers from across the Front Range come to throw down, and the crowd circles up the way it is meant to be.
Whether you are a longtime head or have never seen breaking live, it is one of the best free Denver breakdancing events to experience the dance in its real context: live DJs, an open floor, and a community that pushes each other.
Open circles where dancers take turns and the energy builds all day.
Crews and soloists presenting sets to live DJ sound.
Head-to-head rounds judged in the moment, decided by skill and crowd.
From seasoned crews to first-timers, the floor is open to the culture.
