Houston reVision and Connect YMCA host "ReUnion Breaking Event" and unveil AAU Breaking Program

Houston reVision, with the Connect YMCA, presents "ReUnion Breaking Event," introducing breaking enthusiasts and the local Houston community to a significant milestone for the city’s urban arts scene, while offering a platform for youth empowerment through artistic expression and community connections. This event launches Houston reVision’s participation in the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) league under the leadership of Houston reVision alumnus Jose Cardenas, while spotlighting reVision’s new AAU Breaking Team and ancillary programs.

The public is invited to celebrate the art of breaking (commonly known as breakdancing) at this showcase and competition on Saturday, February 22 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. More than just a competition, “ReUnion Breaking Event” features talented male and female dancers/athletes of all ages who have represented Houston on the national stage. Many of them are in consideration to be on reVision’s breaking team under AAU’s structure for inclusivity and sportsmanship.

Houston reVision has been a driving force behind the growth of Houston's breaking community for over three decades. Every week since October 1996, the organization has hosted CommUnity Night, where dancers of all styles and skill levels gather to connect, practice, and share their passion for the art.

Houston reVision exists to break the cycle of juvenile justice involvement and homelessness by empowering youth in Harris County through mentorship, artistic expression, access to resources, community support and a renowned soccer program. Transforming lives, one step at a time, the nonprofit is proud to partner with the City of Houston and Houston Arts Alliance to amplify its outreach and impact. The organization's artistic justice diversion initiatives are an integral part of its mission to empower youth through opportunities for self-expression and community support.
