Niels "Storm" Robitzky - The living legend who's been bringing the real storm since 1983.
Pioneer. World champion. Guinness World Record holder for most windmills. Architect of the Olympic Breaking Judging System (the Trivium / Threefold system used at the Games). The man who turned raw street energy into global theater, taught generations how to think, feel, and move like true hip-hop heads, and still drops knowledge that changes dancers forever.
From early B-boy battles in Germany to conquering New York circles, Storm mastered Breaking, Popping, and Locking like few others. He’s the guy who won Battle of the Year (twice), toured the world, choreographed for stages big and small, wrote the book (Think Breaking), and built a teaching philosophy that goes way deeper than steps - it’s culture, mindset, and soul.
Now he’s bringing that fire straight to our workshops on June 25.
If you want to train with one of the most respected OGs in the game - the professor who helped shape Olympic Breaking and has shaped modern street dance -this is your shot! Limited spots. Real talk. Real growth. Real Storm.
See you on the floor. 🔥
