Break Dance – Becker & Söhne
Huss Break Dance No. 41, built in 1992
Operator: Becker & Söhne (Stuttgart/Kaiserslautern)
Break Dance Becker The Break Dance ride by Becker & Söhne is one of the classic spinning rides, where no ride feels exactly like another. Further units with freely rotating gondolas spin on a large turntable. This creates changing directions and lively movement. For many fairgoers, the combination of music, lights and spinning is part of the typical Break Dance experience.

Photos, dates and sources
At night, the ride is especially eye-catching thanks to its lighting. For photos, a spot outside the cordoned-off operating area is recommended. A current appearance should be checked against the line-up of rides for the relevant year, not old lists. You can find more profiles in the attraction directory. The technical profile is documented by Ride-Index.

History of Break Dance Becker
The operator’s name is particularly important for identification. Several Huss Break Dance rides with similar names travel to German funfair grounds. A Break Dance belonging to Bonner, Bruch or Freiwald should therefore not be confused with the ride belonging to Becker & Söhne. Historical photos should also always be attributed based on the specific ride and its design.

Visitor tips
If you want to try the ride, first watch how the gondolas spin. This is especially helpful if you are sensitive to rotation. The gondolas change direction not only because of the movement of the large platform. The smaller rotating units also affect their path. You should check the binding height and age limits directly at the ride; no reliably up-to-date figure is available here for this specific ride.
