In the 1970s, the US hip hop culture gave birth to a new style of dance.

Breaking will appear as an event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Breakdancers are known as B-girls and B-boys.

African B-girls and B-boys took part in the first African Breaking Competition which was hosted by Morocco.

They'd like a chance to compete for a gold medal in Paris 2024.

B-girl Courtnaé Paul, from South Africa, stood out as one of the exceptional performers.

Breakdancers combine acrobatic movements, complex footwork, and impressive strength in their performances.

While the style originated from hip hop, the dance now includes diverse music genres such as jazz, disco and electro.

In the competitions, two B-boys or B-girls take part in battles.

They show off their skills and attempt to outperform one another with their energetic moves.

B-boy JC Kanane's from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

He's delighted for the opportunity to meet other breakers and to make new friends.

Who'll be the first breaker gold medalist?

We'll have to wait until Paris 2024.
