24 Menit
15 Juli 2024
The 2024 Paris Olympic games will start on July 26th, and for the first time breaking will be included as an official sport.
Breaking, a form of competitive street dance, may not be exactly what you imagine when you think of the Olympics. So, today, I want to take a look at how breaking evolved alongside Hip-hop music on the streets of New York city, and then discuss how it ended up being selected as an Olympic discipline.
At the same time, we’ll learn some useful breaking related vocabulary!
