Breakdancing, a vibrant expression of urban culture and athleticism, seamlessly integrates elements of dance, music, and competition. Rooted in the streets of New York City during the 1970s, breakdancing, also known as breaking, has evolved into a global phenomenon with a dedicated community and diverse following. As a form of artistic expression, breakdancing captivates audiences across various categories on platforms like YouTube.
Within the dance category, breakdancing stands out for its dynamic movements, including spins, flips, freezes, and intricate footwork, all executed with precision and flair. Its fusion of athleticism and creativity makes it a captivating form of entertainment, appealing to viewers seeking high-energy performances and jaw-dropping stunts.

Happy Birthday Hip-Hop Culture. Last year, I was privileged to link with Kool Herc, Quese IMC, Queen Yonasda and numerous Indigenous Family members in an intimate setting. Publishing today today that Hip-Hop is a cultural art form that has given so much to the world, its people of all nationalities, backgrounds and walks of life. That’s why I love it so much. It has given me life. It has connected me to people I would have never met. It has offered me new thoughts, philosophies and even remedies for life’s obstacles. This moment was especially cool. Watching young Shamar perform with other rap artists like AntoineX was dope. Sitting and talking to Kool Herc and Sister Cindy Campbell was also a career highlight. Here’s to Hip-Hop!!! I can’t wait to see what adventures await!
