From Accra to Dakar, Conakry to Libreville, their partnership has ignited a renaissance in African street dance—fusing artistry, education, and community empowerment.
West Africa Tour: A Cultural Revolution in Motion
The West Africa Tour, organized by Street Off and Afro Break Championship, has been a cornerstone of this transformation. With stops in Senegal, Guinea, Gabon, Togo, and Ghana, the tour featured:
• Workshops led by Lyricx and Lilou, offering world-class training to emerging African dancers.
• Conferences exploring the history and future of breaking in Africa.
• Screenings and Q&A sessions that spotlighted African hip-hop narratives.
• Battles and Cyphers that brought raw energy to public spaces and cultural centers.
Each event was backed by major institutions including Institut Français, AFD, Accès Culture, and local ministries—underscoring the growing recognition of breaking as a tool for youth development and cultural diplomacy.
