Foreword

To us, BreakFree is a safe haven. This year, our 45 members brought their diverse backgrounds, unique energies, and personal stories together to confront the unknown. Though we each have our own fears, our shared passion for dance and unwavering support for one another have allowed us to step out of the shadows. Through every intense rehearsal and creative challenge, we’ve learned to embrace our vulnerabilities and transform them into art.

We are so proud to present BreakFree Showcase XVIII: THE HAUNTING, our 18th annual showcase. This year is especially meaningful as we also celebrate 20 incredible years as an organization, and we are so grateful to have you here to share in this milestone. Each set dives deep into the fears that hold us back and the courage it takes to overcome them, exploring the thrilling, the eerie, and the beautifully terrifying. Thank you for supporting us. Get ready to face the unknown and step into The Haunting.
