Breakumentary: Episode 2
The good people at More Than a Stance have a documentary series examining different perspectives of Breakin’ (aka breakdancing). In their latest Breakumentary ROXRITE, PALMER, KEEBZ, and MIG187 discuss the art of paying dues and getting paid. Plenty of thoughtful perspectives from those interviewed, as well as comments on how some breakers approach the dance.
You can watch the video in a new tab by clicking this link. Please let me know how you feel about what’s said in the video by commenting below!

YouTube: International Youth Day Mashup Challenge – Winners – Loebz and JFX ill at will
Footage of our performance from The International Youth Day Mash Up Challenge. Pretty much me and Jim’s goal was to have fun and rep well for the bboy/bgirl dance community. A personal honor for me to perform in front of my Korean adopted student Damon. I want to thank Mind your Mind, Dynamic Dozen, all the other competitors… and the WILD WILD WILD FANS! Much love; peace!
