Do other states have breakdancers? I don’t want to be ignorant 🤷🏾‍♂️ this was inspired by the Olympics

Being from Brooklyn it was and still is one of the 5 elements of hip-hop


Come to find out kool herc didn’t start it

Supposedly lol

But anyway


So many people are saying it was trash which it was


And so many was asking why no FBA was involved or judges




So my question is






Do other states breakdance? LA had pop lockers


It’s there a bunch of Mississippi FBA breakdancers


We don’t know about?

Im watching it now..

Jap boys killed it

 

[drederick tatum]

No. No other states have breakdancers. There is not one single person who breakdances outside of New York.

I know of a dude named iron monkey who was breakin in Texas for a bit. Know of a few crews in the houston area

There are a bunch of crews on the west coast as well

That’s interesting to me

Never thought it was big thing outside nyc

I knew cali had lockers not breakdancing

 

[Let A Fro Be A Fro]

Nope.

It went from NY straight to places like Japan, Korea, and Lithuania

 

[OVER]

As a Georgian, I'd like to ask what is this break dancing you speak of?

Than you are seriously out of the loop. Japan has had the game on lock since the 2000s to the point in Ralph McDaniels asked Afrika Bambatta about it in a 2007 interview and Bam said it was a good thing because he foresaw Hip Hop being global back in the 80s.

Wtf is this?

Dancing to no music is peak creh activity. I don't want to see Black people perform... .I want to see them consulted to make the event a proper representation. Otherwise scrap that gentrified soulless trash or add it to the acrobatics program.

 

[TEH]

The women were good. I like the fact that they looked for classic breaking moves and they played classic hip hop.
