Break dancing to become official Olympic sport

Break dancing will become an Olympic sport in 2024.

Some pint-sized competitors are getting ready to "pop n' lock it" for team USA!

Break-dancing will become an Olympic sport in 2024.

Coach Antonio Castillo is in charge of forming the first team u-s-a.

He runs a dance studio in Maryland... And helped invent the scoring system that's widely used in competitions.

Castillo says back when he started break-dancing... He never thought it'd become an Olympic sport.

"A lot of times people told me 'you can't make a job from breaking; it's impossible. Go to school; get a job; pay your bills on time," says Antonio Castillio.

"Find out that it's gonna be in the Olympics and I can keep going, I really have this thing to work towards... it's awesome," describes dancers Evan Sletten and Isaac Witte.

The 2024 summer Olympics will be head in Paris, France.

Break-dancers will be scored on a ten-point system... On things like: footwork, freezing in different poses -- and of course -- those famous floor spins.
