ABOUT Breakout Dance Competition
Breakout made its debut tour in 2019, and now in its seventh season, it has expanded to three tours, set to host 39 regional events and its fifth National Finals in Atlantic City in 2025! With a strong focus on providing high-quality, dancer-focused events, Breakout is dedicated to creating an inclusive and positive competition experience for dancers of all levels.
Breakout was built on three core principles—offering a dance-centered approach, founded on strong values and a deep love for dance. Our events are organized, timely, fun, and fair, providing an opportunity for all dancers to thrive in a competitive yet constructive environment. From the start, we were committed to giving our community an additional experience—what they loved about traditional events, but with a fresh vibe and aesthetic. Breakout is proud to offer an event that is low in stress, high in fun, and focused on creating a positive, empowering atmosphere for dancers to shine. Join the movement!
