The Jinjo Crew, representing Korea's street dance scene, will host the '2025 Breaking Summer' at SJ Kunsthalle in Gangnam, Seoul, on July 12.
This year's event, marking its second edition, is recognized for setting a new standard for street dance festivals, having received a warm response from domestic and international dancers and audiences during its inaugural event last year. It is expected to heat up Seoul's summer once again with an even stronger lineup and overwhelming production.
This competition consists of four battle programs. World-class break dancers will engage in intense competition in the 1-on-1 battle 'Breaking 1ON1 Open Division' and the crossover battle 'Open Style 2ON2 Open Division' that transcends genres.
A platform for youth leading the future of street dance has also been established. The 'Breaking 1ON1 Under 18' institutional sector allows participation for those under 18 years of age, while the 'Open Style 1ON1 Under 15' targets participants under 15.
'2025 Breaking Summer' will feature judges and battle guests invited from around the world, including France, Japan, China, and Portugal. The unprecedented global lineup that transcends genres and borders is another highlight of this event.
In addition, a special guest show will be held featuring Lady Bounce, who gained massive popularity from her appearance in 'Street Woman Fighter 2', HANYA, known for dominating the stage with explosive energy, the top-level kids dance team 2way kids, and skilled beatboxer h-has.
