Haha you won't break anything.
Do some hyperextensions, straight-legged deadlifts, and strengthen your abdominal muscles to ensure a low risk of injury.
Granted, you can't build core strength without performing core exercises (like squats), but you can build up areas that become injury-prone from doing squats.
