PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Dancing embodies one of our most essential relationships in the world. Not only is it a universal language, but incorporates physical, cognitive, emotional, self-esteem, and socialization benefits. It gives opportunity to express language and evoke when thoughts or emotions are too powerful during the developmental stage, and ultimately during one’s whole life. When movement becomes structured and is performed with awareness for its own sake, it becomes dance.
While our educational systems for early childhood include drawing and singing, they sometimes neglect to include dance. It is essential that education provide our children with the developmental benefits and unique learning opportunities that come from organizing movement into the aesthetic experience of dance.

BREAKIN
|
Breakin derives from the “break.” A Bboy is a Break Boy, a Bgirl a Break Girl or a boy or girl who dances to the “break.” However, Breakin has other important meanings. To “break” also signified the desire to break loose from the hardships of day to day, to break loose from struggles of growing up in underserved neighborhoods, to break down barriers between gangs and inner-city rivals. Breakin was an energetic release of the tension felt by urban youth and physical movement that showed off physical prowess and discipline.
CBZ is a proud supporter of Breakin organizations in bringing this dance style into schools and, gain exposure as Breakin prepares to be in the Olympic Games. |
