Nouns Breakers did its thing in 2024. From Nounifying the Breaking Olympics to hosting a series of free workshops around the world, our team represented with force and undeniable impact. We achieved our goal of Noun visibility both locally and globally, by traveling to more than 15 countries and attending over 30 world class Hip Hop dance competitions.
We’re ready to take it to the next level by expanding our presence as ranking touring competitors that invest in our local communities by creating opportunities for access and development. To achieve this goal, we are proposing 3 initiatives:
https://updates.wtf/update/494-1 https://updates.wtf/update/494-2
The Nouns Breakers bootcamp/retreat is about leveling up as a team! Through focused team practices, we’ll fine-tune skills needed to crush our competition and deliver our best performance. Bootcamp will be under the strict regimen of US Olympic athlete Jeffro, Olympic Bronze medalist Victor and legendary Bboy Remind.
Having the US Olympic team experience with the systems of judging battle formated competitions, mixed with coach Remind's groundbreaking methodology will bring a well-rounded regiment of athleticism, artistry and strategy for our training trajectory. This retreat is not only about improving as individual competitors, it is the opportunity for us to unify as an unstoppable team. We will come out of training ready to rise to any challenge and dominate competitions.
Our competition tour calendar is comparable to last years, focused on international, high-level platforms. The breaking competition network that produces these events is always evolving and expanding and we will participate in the events that are key for the team’s representation locally and globally.
*Attendance of athletes to events depends on invitation, competition format, visa status or other factors.
During its 50 year evolution, Breaking has grown a street subculture into a globally recognized sport. When it comes to Breaking today, North American and European regions have access to top-notch facilities which create the chance for kids to advance as competitors. Latin America lacks these resources as kids train mostly in public spaces like parks and streets.
By revitalizing 3 carefully selected public spaces across Latin America, young Breakers from these areas will be forever impacted. With the proper infrastructure, dancers will be better equipped to train and fulfill their potential. Many of today’s world-class breakers started in local parks or community centers. By revitalizing such spaces, we will contribute to a higher number of Latin American dancers competing on the global Breaking platform.
“Parque 20 de Julio” is an example of a potential site for restoration in Bogota, Colombia. The current deteriorated track was once the practice spot for an intergenerational community of breakers. Bboy Marsue will lead the revitalization project to ensure the goals are met to transform and Nounify this legendary spot.
This video showcases Parque 20 de Julio in 2011 where different generations gathered daily in community through Hip Hop Culture.
Just as we value touring internationally to major jams, it is also vital to attend and support in local gatherings. Smaller scale jams are the foundation of our dance competition ecosystem. These more intimate events facilitate space for meaningful connections and are typically the setting that inspired most of our personal journeys in Breaking.
Last year we did a trial of partial funding towards three local jams, one in Colombia and two in Brazil. We are confident in the results and would use a similar approach in our own curation of three inaugural jams, which are scheduled to take place at each newly restored site of the Restoration Project. These jams will not only act as a celebration of the restored public space but will serve as a collaborative effort with each respective community. This model of community event engagement empowers local communities to repeat such events going forward, encouraging longevity of community organizing and unity.
This initiative will create a children's program focused on providing a digital education of Breaking. Early learners can explore movement, allowing them to discover new physical and creative abilities.
Geared but not limited towards the Spanish-speaking world, this program led by Olympic ranker Bgirl Isis will reach globally while promoting inclusive learning, collaboration and creativity for its channel participants (translation resources will be provided).
Deliverables Short Term: Publish 4 educational videos per month, 3 to 5 minutes duration.
Long Term: An operating public channel with thousands of viewers sustained through the monetization of the platform and sale of products, growing our audience around the world.
*Channel educators will be experienced adult breakers
This three day dance intensive is focused on training new generations in Breaking while illuminating the importance of Breaking history and vocabulary. Students ages 12 to 17 will learn from top national champions and coaches from the Nouns Breakers team. Students will gain understanding in conflict transformation and cultural collaboration through physical, social and creative development.
Co-founders Monse and Niño, in collaboration with highly skilled professionals within the Hip Hop scene, will share theoretical/practical classes that utilize play and games. This training will aim at creative, technical, physical, and mental development necessary to thrive as an artist and athlete.
This camp will encourage the understanding of artistry and competition, preparing students for the stamina and lifestyle of Breaking as a profession.
The final day battle will award a Bboy and Bgirl winner with a scholarship to attend the Youth is the Future Camp in Slovakia 2025, a camp notable for having the strongest youth Breaking program in the world. Our long term goal is to support and develop future athletes to participate in the 2026 Youth Olympics in Dakar, Senegal.
We're requesting 259,540 USDC to fund a full year of activities, projects and travels within the Nouns Breakers ecosystem. All projects will be executed by the 11 team members under the supervision of founder Andrea
