breaking is an olympic sport this year and i am so ridiculously excited!

i had to spend my entire dance career being told it “wasn’t a real sport” and that i wasn’t an athlete because i was a dancer. so to see it represented (even if it’s only one style of one type of dance) on a global stage means everything to me.

and hell yeah if you’re picking any style of dance to make an olympic sport breaking is an excellent choice! the amount of strength/muscle control/everything that that style requires 100% makes the dancers athletes. i never ever managed to do much breaking beyond head stalls and the occasional “around the world” lmao (i was always more of a crump and house style hip hopper)
