From the card board to the Olympics.

Good. Hopefully those MTA train dancers will get a chance because they’re really good.

I'm watching only for this break dancing segment specifically that's so awesome they are adding more of our culture on the world stage. I usually like swimming, gymnastics, track and volleyball too.

Foundational "Black" Americans started breaking, and all of the elements of Hip Hop. To not acknowledge that or to gloss over it is crazy. #CarryOn

For someone who grew up in the 70's and watched it grow this is awesome. It's a NYC thing and NYC's neighborhoods when I was growing up and where "breaking" was happening was a mix of descendants of Southern Black Americans, Black Caribeans, Puerto Ricans (in my neighborhood, Dominicans in other neighborhoods) and even the few whites left who were leaving for the the burbs and upstate New York. There was stick ball, hand ball, stoop ball, riding your bike over ramps like wannabe Evel Knievel's. Young people usually have less hangups about who their playing on the block with than the parents, some of whom didn't want their kids involved. Of course there have always been tensions between groups and even within groups but when you're 12, 13, 14, 15 years old it didn't matter as much. The 70's are now 40 plus years ago and we're still arguing about who did what like there aren't people alive who still remember. Crazy.

Dance is a sport!!!

Hip hop is rooted in black American culture. It formulated out of the black power movement of the 1960s, the Black Panthers, and the biggest street gang at one point in New York City called the black spades. Many of the black spade members in the Bronx created much of that culture.
