Professor Niels “Storm” Robitzky, serving at the Anton Bruckner Private University, is a distinguished figure in the world of Breaking. He has significantly contributed to establishing and promoting this dance style on the global stage over decades. Beginning in the mid-1980s, he, along with a few colleagues, started building a worldwide network for Breaking, significantly aiding in its recognition as a serious and respected art form. Another significant contribution of Professor Robitzky was the development of the judging system for Breaking at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in 2018. Together with his colleagues, he created a scoring system that meets the unique requirements and aesthetics of Breaking, marking an important step in the acknowledgment of this dance form in international sports events.
