BREAKing THE WALLS – Empowering Youth Through Dance and Movement
BREAKing THE WALLS is an international European project that combines breaking, Dance Movement Therapy, and cultural exchange to support young people’s mental well-being, personal development, and artistic growth.
Through workshops, international exchanges, and performances across Italy, Slovakia, and Portugal, the project brings together young dancers, professional breakers, and mental health experts. Its mission is to strengthen emotional resilience, encourage self-expression, build confidence, and connect young people through the universal language of dance.
The project is implemented by four European partners:
- Be Street (Italy) – Lead partner and project coordinator
- The Legits (Slovakia)
- Check The Style ASD (Italy)
- MaxMomentum Lda (Portugal)
The project culminated in a final breaking performance at The World Battle 2026 in Porto, Portugal, celebrating the creativity, collaboration, and personal growth of the participating dancers.
