Breaking: the dance form that rose from the streets to the Olympics
The acrobatic dance style known as “Breaking” started almost a half century ago with the hip-hop culture on the streets of the Bronx in New York City.
Among its most enduring features is the influence of powwow fancy dance steps. Breaking’s debut at the 2024 Paris Olympics propelled awareness of the current skill and athleticism that goes into it.
Join Native America Calling to talk with noted Native b-boys and b-girls about the origins and future of breaking.
