Breakdancers J Attack and Raygun are on track for an Olympic berth after taking out the preliminary finals at the Oceania Breaking Championships.
More than a hundred dance battles took place at Sydney's Town Hall on Friday, whittling down 37 Bboys and 15 Bgirls to eight in each category.
The winners of the championships will clinch the spot at the Paris 2024 Games, while the second, third and fourth-place finishers will head to the Olympic qualifying series in Shanghai and Budapest.
Touted as the nation's leading contender, Raygun dazzled the six judges with her musicality and technique to take top spot in the Bgirl category with 592.5 points.
A university lecturer by day, Raygun has represented Australia at the sport's last three world championships and is the nation's top-ranked Bgirl.
She is followed by G-Clef (563 points), and Australian national teammates Hannah (560.9), Molly (557.2) and Fontz (541.6).
"It's a battle, you can't hold back," Raygun told AAP.
"I really try to bring my own style, my own way of moving. I had an original move. I had a power move, I had a freeze.
"These are really hard things to show when you're in such a high-pressure situation.
"I'm really pleased that I was able to just express myself. I got up and I felt good."
The top eight Bgirls were determined by four-way battles known in the sport as a four-corner cypher.
Bboys competed in the cypher before taking part in a mammoth round-robin.
The battles split the remaining 16 dancers into four groups, with each athlete required to battle every opponent in the group for two 50-second rounds.
J Attack, ranked third in the country, convincingly won all six of his rounds to take out top spot in Group B and go through to Saturday's dance battles.
He will face formidable opponents in BenMX and teammate Kid Tek, who also triumphed in their own six rounds.
The remaining dancers must win 12 battles on Saturday in order to snatch the coveted gold medal and book their seat on the plane to Paris.
