On behalf of the Board of Directors, we want to update you on our search for new leadership. For the past couple of months our Vice President, Ian Flaws, has served as the interim president of the organization. He has made clear that he does not intend to retain the position and would prefer an open call to fill the role from within our membership.

Our mission has always been to be inclusive and democratic, to allow our members the opportunity to get involved with the work needed. The role of the President is crucial and we are confident there are members within USA Breakin' who will lead our organization to further recognition and success.

We are looking for professionals who have strong connections within the Breakin community, ample professional experience (perhaps even non-profit) and 5 -10 hours a week to work as a volunteer.

To be considered we are asking for a resume and a cover letter detailing your professional strengths and involvement in the Breakin' community.

With your help, we will continue our mission of building a grassroots representative organization from within the Breakin community to represent Breakers in the United States.

USA Breakin’ Announces Multiplatform Partnership with


NEW YORK (April 4, 2023) – USA Breakin’, the National Sports Organization founded to help support the growth of breakdancing in the United States, has announced a multiplatform integrated partnership with Chispa, the largest dating app made for US Latinos.

The partnership makes Chispa the official and exclusive dating app of USA Breakin’ and the title sponsor of the first USA Breakin’ event of 2023, the “Chispa TMC Northeast Open presented by USA Breakin’” scheduled for May in New England.

The partnership includes extensions across all USA Breakin’ controlled platforms, with the primary benefits delivered through USA Breakin’s extensive social media reach and influencer network. The centerpiece of the agreement is the creation of a customized Chispa song that will be played across all USA Breakin’ events and will be incorporated into the social and digital media promotion of all USA Breakin’ competitions throughout the year. The song will be promoted by several breakers, influencers and DJs with connectivity into Chispa’s core target and user.

“We are excited to welcome Chispa to the USA Breakin’ Family,” said Felix Sama, President of USA Breakin’. “We are thrilled that they see the value in reaching our large and diverse audience.  Their focus on music and social media fit seamlessly within our content distribution strategy, and developing a Chispa song that will become part of the fabric of our events over the course of the year is a great way to bring the partnership to life.”

Julia Estacolchic, Head of Brand and Marketing for Chispa, added “Music is integral to how we express our identity, and it plays a key role in how Latines celebrate our culture and connect with others. We are excited to partner with USA Breakin’ and to continue to embrace and spotlight talented Latine artists and young athletes as we create culture together.”Aggregate Sports, USA Breakin’s exclusive sponsorship sales agency, helped broker the agreement.

breakin' and it's dance athletes

USA Breakin' has programs for all ages and skill levels, from grassroots to professional. USA Breakin' provides a positive learning experience for anyone interested in the dance sport and/or Hip-Hop culture.

At a grassroots level, USA Breakin' has member studios throughout the country for dancers to begin their education. These educators are active in their local school systems and after school programs as well. Breakin' is an incredible dance that develops strength, flexibility, agility, control, coordination, discipline, confidence and creativity. It promotes a healthy lifestyle, goal orientation and positive self-esteem. Through dedication and consistent practice, dancers can grow and improve to represent the United States. Other dance athletes may work toward performing professionally, becoming educators, coaching or even earning a college scholarship.

the national team

The National Team will feature a designated number of dance athletes for Youth, Teen, and Adult members. The team will be selected through regional qualifiers and ultimately the National Championship event.

Through regional qualifiers, members will gain points based on where they place. At the National Champions, their performances will earn them more points. Their cumulative ranking will be evaluated along with other factors by a committee selected to form the National Team.

breakin' for usa

Breakin' can be a fun activity for anyone, at any age or skill level. It has empowered countless youth to uplift themselves through creativity and hard work.

As an element of Hip-Hop culture, Breakin' was born in the United States, originating in underserved neighborhoods in New York City during the early 1970’s. This history is important to our organization.

It is our conviction that Breakin's place of origin should always be included in international events. Even as Hip-Hop and Breakin' have spread across the globe, the legacy should always remain here in the United States. We are dedicated to creating opportunities for U.S. Breakers to represent this dance and culture we love on the international level.
