Supplemental context

The World DanceSport Federation's account records breaking's Olympic debut at Paris 2024 on 9–10 August. This supports a dated sporting milestone, not the assumption that Olympic status is permanent or that competition exhausts the dance's cultural life. Future readers should preserve music, exchange between dancers, crews and the settings where people learn alongside event footage. The original title is kept unchanged, while breaking is used in this companion as the term in the federation's account.

Creator/community: Breaking communities, dancers and crews; Paris2024 competitors and event organizers for that specific sporting chapter Place/era: Hip-hop dance culture; Paris Olympic competition 9–10 August 2024
