Breaking at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics was held from 7 to 11 October. The competition took place at Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This marked the debut of dancesport at any edition of the Olympics.
Qualification
Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) can enter a maximum of 2 competitors, 1 per each gender. As hosts, Argentina is given 2 quotas, 1 per each gender provided that they participate at the World Youth Breaking Championships. Four quotas, two per gender were initially to be decided by the tripartite committee, however, none were selected and the spots were reallocated to the 2018 World Youth Championship. The remaining places were decided at the 2018 World Youth Breaking Championship, with each continent guaranteed a spot at the games provided that they competed. There were no athletes from Africa or Oceania competing in B-Girls and Australia declined its quota in B-Boys.[1]
To be eligible to participate at the Youth Olympics athletes must have been born between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2002.[1]
