Overview
Demolition Squad (DS), Gauteng’s longest-standing Breaking crew, proudly presents the official South African Qualifier for the prestigious Indian Ocean Dance World Championships 2026, taking place in Mauritius this August.
This qualifier is more than just a competition—it’s a gateway for South African dancers to shine on the world stage in two dynamic styles: Breaking & All Styles.
Breaking, or breakdancing, is an acrobatic street dance that originated in the 1970s U.S. hip hop culture. It includes stylized footwork, intricate moves, and powerful freezes, performed by b-boys and b-girls using techniques like toprock, downrock, power moves, and freezes. The dance promotes improvisation, personal expression, and creativity, especially in friendly competitions called battles or cyphers.
All Styles is a freestyle street dance battle that brings together dancers from a variety of dance styles, including Hip Hop, House, Popping, Locking, Waacking, Vogue, Afro, Dancehall, Krump and more. Dancers compete by improvising to the music, demonstrating musicality, creativity, technique and personal style. The format celebrates individuality, cultural diversity and the ability to adapt across different genres in head-to-head battles and cyphers.
