BRKFST Dance Company

BRKFST Dance Company (Saint Paul, MN) BRKFST utilizes breaking, hip hop’s first dance form, to create works that are both intellectually stimulating and physically rigorous. In combining breaking with abstraction and contemporary dance vernacular, the company seeks original modes of artistic expression. BRKFST’s egalitarian and choreographic collaboration is rooted in the hip-hop adage, “Each One Teach One”. Regardless of class, race, experience, age or gender, everyone remains both teacher and student. BRKFST’s lineage stems from breaking and hip-hop culture: earning respect from battles and embodying inclusivity by passing down their knowledge to the new generation. The lived experiences of this collective of artists, who identify as working class, queer and BIPOC, inform their compositions.
