Jericho Breakers is a community based dance group that believes in transforming and empowering youth through activities they are passionate about. Jericho breakers is a community based dance group that uses dancing as a tool to unite the youth and also help create a voice to claim for youth freedom of expression & speech.

We incorporate our traditional dances with western dances [break dance / [B Boy] to create a style of dance that helps us to communicate to the public and enable us to pass a massage to the public. The fact that we community based, we use the element of dance to inspire our fellow youth in our communities to change positively.
Jericho Breakers incorporates basic break dance stunts and moves with individual styles to make an exciting display of control, endurance, and ability. By contorting the body in ways that are extremely difficult and by spinning and sliding across the floor, they are able to develop their own individual poses and movements.
We believe that our performances get young people inspired & motivated thus creating a voice for the youth.

Jericho Breakers is a hip hop dance group that engages in various activities such as free Ghetto dance shows, tutoring young ones at the community quarters and more specifically dancing various dances ranging from African to Western dance, (break dance/ street dance).

B BOY STYLING
Jericho Breakers uses B Boy / Street Dance to separate the actual physical battle of a gang with the same intensity of the battle of a gang, attitude and it settles the battles. We use B Boy/ Street dance to express ourselves because some crew members had that gangsta mentality but we had to pick up our goals & to pick up swag & to remember that we are icons in our communities which implies that we have to set good examples.
Also Jericho Breaker using Street Dance has helped to create a voice for youth through creating categories of music, art, fashion, various dances, attitude and other ways of expressing ourselves in that we have pride in our culture and bring in our own elements and explore the ways where we can Re-claim our voice in order to have self confidence and believe that we have values and that our life is important.
