About Asociația Break4Kids
We are building more than a dance school. We are building a community around Breaking in Romania.
Who we are
Asociația Break4Kids is an independent NGO in Bucharest that develops educational and community projects through Breaking and hip-hop culture.
Our mission is to give children, teenagers and adults an environment where they can learn, express themselves artistically and grow through movement, discipline and teamwork.
- Classes for every age and level.
- Activities in Romanian, English and Ukrainian.
- Workshops, camps, battles and competitive experiences.
- A community built on respect, character, perseverance and personal growth.
One ecosystem, five projects
Each project has its own character, but all are run by Asociația Break4Kids.

Judges and guests
Cool A
Founder and Head Coach
Andrei “Cool A” discovered Breaking at 15 in Bacău and has danced for over 20 years. He spent about 15 years in Coventry, UK, where he was part of the MDK crew, competed almost every weekend and co-founded an NGO that organised around 50 competitions.
He returned to Romania to grow the local scene. His first project was BHumble, the Eastern European Freestyle Session qualifier, with participants from 18 countries. He has experience in fundraising, project coordination, production and community partnerships. Space Cadets grew out of a collaboration with a local NGO. BHumble’s 500 tickets sold out in a single day.
Charity drives
We collected clean clothes, shoes and toys in good condition for children aged 1 to 17, destined for a children’s home. The drive ran at Space Cadets until 16 August.
