breakdance crew

Urban dance team

A breakdance crew is a group of breakdancers who perform, practice, and compete together as a unit.

Crews develop shared styles, choreograph routines, and battle other crews in competitions.

The crew functions as both a creative collective and a social bond: Our crew practices at the community center every weekend.

Also called a b-boy crew or breaking crew.
