WAVES Magazine

WAVES is an online magazine dedicated to celebrate and document the raw world of the breaking culture.

Cyphers, Battles, and Jams - Hip Hop, in its nature, is a competitive place. And that’s what makes this space a unique experience where anything can happen on the dance floor. But what is the mindset, the preparation, and the motivation to deliver the dopest combos on the floor? WAVES aims to deliver firsthand insights directly from the people in the culture.

Through stunning visuals and exclusive interviews, we dive deep into the rhythm and raw energy of this art form. Embarking on a journey that explores the roots, evolution, and future of breaking, WAVES seeks to amplify diverse voices and narratives within this global community. As our motto echoes, “We are waves from the same ocean”, inviting all dancers to connect, share, and ride the currents of this movement.
