Break Dancing

In the world that is dance, it is formed in a way that people have their own clicks (communities) and as the basically trained dancers people tend to outcast Break-Dancers.

In this picture we have your classic break dancer Michael Bernardes.

 

But unfortunately this style of dance is under rated and underappreciated in South Africa, it is classified as an untrained form of dance. I’ve been taking Break dancing classes for the past 3-4 weeks and that form of dancing really requires strength and discipline. The hours that get put into perfecting this dance style have nothing less than pain and sweat. So it is a very hectic sport.

There are a couple of platforms for the break dancers of South Africa to showcase themselves like:

·         Redbull  BC1

·         Back 2 the City

·         King Of The Beat

·         Battle of the Giants

·         Big Bang

·         Krumpers vs Bboy

·         And maybe private sessions

And these competitions are not really recocgnised or supported. Krump is also an un nioticed dance style but we will get into to that next time.

 

Break dancing is a very beautiful dance style and I commend the break dancers in south Africa for sticking to it, the boys and the girls.
