Breakdancing has officially been added as an Olympic sport for the 2024 games which are to be held in Paris.
The decision was confirmed by the International Olympic Committee on Monday (7 December) in a bid to attract a younger audience.
breakdancing will be referred to as 'breaking' when competitors take to the floor.
Breakdancing proved a success at the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which was when it was proposed.
When the games come to Paris, the dance-offs will take place at a downtown venue alongside sport climbing and 3v3 basketball.
"It can resonate with a lot of people because hip-hop culture resonates with a lot of people, hip-hop music resonates with a lot of people.
"It being in the Olympics, it makes sense that people would refer to it as (a sport) but I think one thing for the breaking community is we want to make sure that it's not known as just a sport but an art, a sport, a culture."
