Respect the Battle, Respect the Culture: WDSF Stands Against Online Abuse in Breaking

At the heart of Breaking lies a culture of expression, creativity, and mutual respect. Every battle is a space for athletes to share their identity, honour the artistry of others, and strengthen the community. WDSF upholds skill, style, and cultural roots as essential to preserving the spirit of the discipline.

These battles bring together B-boys and B-girls from diverse backgrounds, fostering dialogue, innovation, and recognition. Online abuse, discrimination, and personal attacks threaten both the well-being of participants and the integrity of the culture. Every member of the community has a responsibility to promote positivity, inclusivity, and respect.

WDSF is committed to supporting athletes and collaborating with partners to maintain safe and welcoming spaces, online and offline. Breaking embodies peace, unity, and enjoyment. By embracing the principle of “Respect the Battle, Respect the Culture”, the community can safeguard the bonds that make it strong.

We look forward to celebrating these values at the 2026 World Breaking DanceSport Festival in Brisbane, where athletes, fans, and the wider community will come together to honour the culture and artistry of this sport.
