Element 1

About

Element-1 is the University of Michigan's only breakdancing club. We are committed to fostering friendship and leadership through hip-hop, and in particular its dance form, breakdancing. In order to uphold our objective, we meet at least twice a week to practice and learn from each other. We also hold workshops and once a year we host a large breakdancing competition as well as smaller one which brings many renowned figures in the hip-hop community together, giving University of Michigan students the chance to meet them and learn about the impact hip hop has on modern culture.

Master the Art

March 9th 2019
Element 1

Element 1 hosted Master the Art, a long running breakdancing competition that attracts breakdancers all over the United States. The competition was judged by three well known members from the breakdance community. Music was provided from a decorated DJ. Element 1 also partnered with a local breakdancing studio in Detroit, called SEED, whose goal is to utilize breakdancing to empower at risk youth. Several of these children came to the event, and were inspired to work hard at this dance.
