Prepare to witness an exhilarating weekend of skill, creativity, and cultural exchange as the Titan Games: Breakdance and All-Style Dance Championship takes the stage on August 3rd and 4th, 2024, at the Royal MAS Arena in Colombo. This vibrant event marks the launch of the French Cultural Season 2024, and it promises to be a thrilling celebration of one of the most dynamic dance forms in the world — breakdance.
Originally emerging in the streets of the South Bronx in the late 1970s, breakdance has transcended its roots to become a global phenomenon, cherished for its combination of athleticism, artistry, and musicality.
As a testament to its growing prominence, breakdance will make its debut as an official discipline at the Paris 2024 Olympics, shining a spotlight on its international relevance and cultural significance.
This year, the event welcomes the renowned Bboy Lilou as its guest of honour. Lilou is a multiple World Champion in breaking and has played a pivotal role in shaping the breakdancing scene in Sri Lanka. During his previous visit a decade ago, he conducted workshops that revolutionized local talent, inspiring a new generation of dancers. His return is not only an opportunity for competitors to learn from a master but also serves as a platform for cultural exchange, where diverse lifestyles and approaches to Hip-Hop culture can be shared.
The Titan Games will feature battles in three categories:
- 1v1 Pro Breaking
- 1v1 Beginner Breaking
- 1v1 All Style Dance
This championship is set to create an electrifying atmosphere, with MCs and DJs enhancing the experience for both competitors and audiences alike.
