From the streets of New York to the streets of Paris
Manage episode 431689667 series 2802191
This year marks a first — the inclusion of breakdancing as a competitive category in the 2024 Olympics. It’s been a long road for a dance style built by young Black and brown teens in New York in the 1970s. But how should we approach mainstream acceptance with artforms that were once underground and marginalized? Liz speaks with B-girl Ana “Rokafella” Garcia and Borivogue founder Edrimaelle “Edrit” Delgado to find out about the history of breaking and ballroom culture and how we should approach the idea of success when it comes to community built artforms.
This episode was hosted by Liz Rebecca Alarcón and produced by Charlie Garcia & Mark Pagán. Editing by Mark Pagán. Audio engineering, scoring, and mixing by Charlie Garcia and Mark Pagán. Additional audio editing by Julian Blackmore.
