The French Cultural Season 2024 kicks off with a whole weekend dedicated to Breakdance! Breakdance is one of the new disciplines represented at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The Embassy of France has the privilege to invite the French multiple World Champion of breaking, Bboy Lilou, to join the battle judges and conduct workshops for both amateur and professional dancers.
In an effort to promote the professional Sri Lankan breaking scene, the country’s top break-dancers will gather for a weekend of battle on August 3 and 4 at the Royal MAS Arena in Colombo from 8 am to 8 pm. The battles will be in three categories: 1v1 Pro Breaking, 1v1 Beginner Breaking, 1v1 All Style Dance.
In an overheated atmosphere, MCs and DJs will be on hand to entertain competitors and audiences alike. In addition to the battles, there will be workshops, panel discussions and showcases.
Lilou came to Sri Lanka10 years ago to organise dance workshops. He revolutionised break dance in the country and trained a new generation of dancers, and they will be competing in August! The visit of the dancer in Colombo will allow cultural exchange, enabling the teacher and the Sri Lankan dancers to share different lifestyles and approaches to Hip-Hop culture.
