Paris is set to drop the beat this summer as breaking—a cornerstone of hip-hop culture—makes its historic Olympic debut! 🎧🌍 From August 9–10, B-boys and B-girls will battle it out at Place de la Concorde, blending athleticism and artistry with jaw-dropping power moves like windmills, 6-steps, and gravity-defying freezes. Judges will crown the first-ever Olympic breaking champions based on creativity, technique, and flair. 💥
This milestone isn’t just about medals. For the global breaking community, it’s a long-awaited recognition of their craft. In a special episode of THE HYPE: Beyond the Games, street dance legends like Uno Santa (3x world champ) and China’s B-girl Zhang Hong share how this Olympic moment could inspire a new wave of dancers worldwide. 🏆🔄
\"Breaking’s more than sport—it’s a language,\" says French choreographer Nicolas Monlouis Zyko. With skateboarding, surfing, and sport climbing also returning, Paris 2024 is redefining what the Games can be. 🔥 Will you be watching?
