How a breaking battle works

1. A battle is two breakers taking turns to dance. One performs a set, the other answers, and the two sets make a round.
2. The DJ chooses the music, and the breakers do not know it in advance. Both dance to the same track in a round.
3. After each round every judge votes for one breaker, comparing them on technique, variety, performance, musicality, creativity and personality. The breaker with most votes wins the round.
4. The breaker who wins more rounds wins the battle.

How long

A set lasts 60 seconds at most. At the Olympics the knockout battles are best of three rounds.
