Reminiscing on Breaking Ground… nothing but gratitude.

Big love to the @hooligans.uva for making this event happen year after year and continuing to build for the culture and the scene.

Thank you to my family @labratzcrew & @onetakestudios for always believing in me and pushing me forward 💓
And welcome again @choyze_st now officially part of the Lab Ratz legacy, and that means everything to us.

Seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones, and feeling everyone’s energy really showed the strength of our culture, our community, and the scene we’re all building together. We’re especially proud of our students for stepping up and throwing down in an adult battle, it’s powerful to witness their growth, their courage, and the way they’re finding their own path in this culture.

Thank you, @esoeric804 for your words and for recognizing the years behind this journey. This is more than dance… it’s our lifestyle.

Looking back at Breaking Grounds X, our 10th anniversary jam… and what an incredible night🧡

We want to thank everyone who helped organize the event, our sponsors, dj, mc, judges, photographers, videographers, dancers, breakers and everyone for spreading the love of dance. Moments like this remind us of the community we have built. This jam was something special because of you. From the cyphers to the 3v3 battles to the community love, it reminded us why we do this in the first place.

Grateful for every moment, every connection, and every person who made it unforgettable.

Along with thank you to @quiznatodd, David Wang, and Joshua Cho for recording these featured moments. Plus check out the Breaking Grounds 2026 battles on the DMV Break Vault Youtube channel.
