About Yale Breakers
Breaking is an acrobatic dance form rooted in hip-hop culture. Yale Breakers provides scheduled breaking practices and rehearsals. We also organize dance events and workshops.
Members are given the opportunity to independently pursue their self-expression through the dance, engage with other dancers, and to develop their abilities. We are open to breakers of all skill levels! Whether you're totally new to the scene or here for a while, we'd love to dance and train with you. We are open to undergraduate and graduate students.
We take our group to several dance competitions in the East Coast including Battle for Boston and Breaks Melee to give students competition experience. For advanced dancers the club provides preparation and support for statewide and national competitions.
Club goals:
- Teach breaking to anyone interested
- Provide a regular rehearsal structure and practice space
- Improve the network of breakers across the Greater New Haven Area
- Support Yale students in breaking competitions
