GROOVE SESSION

THE ENERGY OF EXPERIENCED DANCERS BOOSTED BY CHILD PRODIGIES
A show unique in the world where 16 child prodigies and 16 international breaking stars come together to dance, share and compete. Experience the energy of breaking in an extraordinary show and the unique talent of duos united by their passion, mixing ages and crossing borders.

LA RESIDENCE

IN THE HEART OF THE DANCERS' INTIMACY
La Résidence reveals the passion for breaking of four bboys and one bgirl of different nationalities and introduces us to what is a true art of living. Produced by Break Social Club, a unique documentary that goes beyond the athleticism of the art form to show the world what lies behind the physical prowess.

LIVE NOW

BE YOURSELF

THE FUTURE IS NOW

Groove is driven by passion. Living, transmitting and creating emotions are the primary motivations. The Association transposes the quintessence of breaking into different concepts that place originality at the centre: always inventing, always innovating and asserting your own style.

 

The Association refers to the origins of breaking, wants to participate in the preservation of its know-how and keep its culture alive.

 

Groove wants to be inclusive and facilitate exchanges and the creation of links. The artists, the team and the public should all feel welcome.

BBOY ART-ONE

The Association was founded in 2016 by Artur Libanio, Swiss Solo Champion in 2014, five Swiss Championship titles, a European Championship title and a third place at the Worlds with the Deep Trip crew.

 

If Artur is the driving force behind Groove, his greatest strength is to succeed in transmitting his passion and giving those around him the desire to participate; a myriad of volunteers who contribute to the smooth running of the Groove family.
