And it was funny when i took a ticket, the late she hated it, of course book whether i can, she had to do all the standard retainer had forwarded. That wasnt her thing, and she didnt stick it up for long as long shlang. Hello. Im more about carton one day. The breakdown World Championships in browns way were in tv all and i saw that some things like that ago. She was maybe 11 backlit. I got her out of bed and said she absolutely had to watch his other sites. Couple of muslims in both of her devastated give out on classes. At some point i realized this was my thing that doesnt excite toner then um, dental. I dont 7 years in gymnastics, in a dandy, there was a lot of stuff i wasnt allowed to do it because i couldnt do what they wanted. A move and saying when i went to my breaking class lost lackley and breaking court. Ah. Ugly vincent cannon damage isnt what people normally associate with sports events. Were part of the hip hop culture late. Theres a b j and we never know what music hes going to play next. Image with pads under her. So yeah. Choreograph your moves beforehand. Leave the audience, the athlete and the d. J are all part of the event. All real people ready with a little competition. And then gig and nevada, we call our competitions battles with 10 people across from each other as well. And then with fast, its normally 2 or 3 rounds, but sometimes 4 or 5 can walk in the field of fan and, and try that. And then the jury decides seconds, depending on the musicality and creativity and technique shouldnt done him, the less the transition. In addition to transition to the mission of the transition is the mission with head spins and back flips are cool, but nothing special. What matters is what makes yours difference like mine had been in line with it as well. Im not very big. Ah, ah ah ah, ah, she now lives in berlin. Just 2 years after getting into breaking. She was already teaching dance courses herself. Well also performing in small scale shows. This is why it doesnt and they said i wasnt able doctor until 2016.

We walked in would pay, wish to go ahead, and when i had the child at some point, it turned out i had something unique. And i could do both choreography and trick steadly. Nobody else could do at la. Shes been happy to pass on that growing experience at the flying steps academy in berlin. Have that committee sometimes i did a lot of commercial dancing before training full time as an athlete, and going to meet the what did you want to say . The mustang of michelle to mon job at this one job where it wasnt clear beforehand, whatever supposed to do. I had the moms own and the way was treated and talked to make me feel uncomfortable. Holland is especially as a woman does being the hold what to do. He has, what about you . I happen costumer come. I was once handed a costume, a silver mini skirt with leather. It didnt even glitter live on him with his silver panties underneath and a silver bikini. Ive never felt so uncomfortable, low on vogue, afraid of that kind of voice. That job made me realize where my boundaries were sometimes my jobs. And after that, id refuse, which probably got me on the wrong side of the od choreographer. But they didnt want to lose what they wanted just any dancer and will kept my ethos go for. Sometimes i think its about showing as much skin as possible from drop, which is exactly what they said with the one job agreement we had these wicked outfits in the customer. Was this big fancy car brand with high fancy law. Got it and they said no 95 percent of the audience are men and they want to see your skin da slowly. And that was the message industry i to get ahead in the industry, you need to build yourself the shield law to say this is me and this is what im about. And these are my boundaries on that. If the, if on doesnt man against him, we have to share with society as good. I like the whole, he styles me, but thats not me. Of the finish. Im more of the kind of was i was gonna go there. Well, were so happy in life as comfy and im for our thank you for coming along and thank you for your input. Its been great when i massena complete, the scene is 70 percent men.

Europe where i came 2nd time on the street and it was, i went to the u. S. A couple of months later and came 2nd again at the silver back open of some missing good side and kind of showed that i was up there with the buyers at 11. So the bronze medal at the 2019 World Championships cemented that continuity, innovative trust from the rehab, but that continuity was interrupted by setbacks and tough times. Something if i what if my low point was in 2020 and fun. I was stressed out because of the pandemic competitions in the sport now going olympic in competition as it is a little less in the voice of a lot of people arent aware of the pressure and expectations involved.

I just couldnt control my body in the stick. Behind. We tried acupuncture and martinez it it. But it turned out i had a slush disk, which was a massive blow a mentally because i thought it was over a beautiful life. Mm. The now the laboratory. And then i had a tattoo done the lesson and had to skip training for a week. And as i think, and ive noticed nothing since then the end of a lockout week of completely switching off. Did me a lot of good. Well thats the i then spent 3 months in mexico and other places.

A lot of events are still called be boy battles, even when there are so called be girls competing get them benefit are both, we still need progress again. Itll probably never be 5050, but over time im sure theyll be more girls competing mid that side door. Im how may i minutes of that with oh, this time its a quarter. Final exit for g.

But will it work as an olympic event, a faceoff between strict sporting rules and the freedom of breaking news is, is a big thing with the olympics for the whole Hip Hop Community by the olympics. Dont know what they just got themselves into, because the sport is, its combination of gymnastics rhythm. You cant just be good at doing sports, but not be going rhythm on the music. So you have to combine it, because wherever your head goes, your body follows. And she lou hopes her body and mind will give her the creative freedom shell need in paris 2024 as well.
