Breakin’ Convention

The world’s biggest festival of hip hop dance hits the road across the UK in 2026!

Breakin’ Convention, the world’s ground-breaking festival of hip hop dance theatre, is coming to Canterbury. Prepare to be blown away by high-energy, world-class performances from celebrated poppers, lockers, b-boys and b-girls.

Curated and hosted by UK hip hop theatre legend (and Breakin’ Convention Artistic Director) Jonzi D, this dynamic celebration of hip hop culture will fill the entire venue from stage to foyer – with live DJs, graffiti artists, freestyle dance sessions, and much more.

Since 2004, Breakin’ Convention, based at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London, has led the global hip hop theatre movement, showcasing trailblazing artists and connecting communities through the power of dance, music, and storytelling.
