Breakdance with Olympic prospects

Breakdancing will be an official sport at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, and local b-girls and b-boys have been practicing breakdance maneuvers in hopes of repping Team USA. Throughout the county, breakers are “spontaneously” linking up via “social media,” according to b-girl Melissa Adao, and more formally at the Apex School of Movement and Culture Shock Training Academy.

For the recent Olympic qualifiers held on Instagram and Zoom, Adao, a 41-year-old Golden Hill dweller, busted funky grooves up top then got down with traditional footwork and freezes. “There are three judges who score you on the spot, based on a USA Breakin’ scoring system,” she explained. “I made the top eight bracket for all of the Olympic qualifiers I’ve entered, so I am happy!” The wins garnered her a spot at Austin, Texas, where face-to-face battles will ensue, and judges will decide who’ll progress one
The event was canceled in 2020 because of coronavirus concerns.
The fireworks are scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. on July 4th, according to the Port of San Diego.
The roughly 20-minute pyrotechnic display can be viewed from Shelter Island, Harbor Island, North Embarcadero, South Embarcadero, Cesar E. Chavez Park and Coronado Ferry Landing.
Residents wishing to watch the event from their boats can find more information at bigbayboom.com.
The Metropolitan Transit System will provide expanded train, trolley and bus service on July 4 and will offer a “Friends Ride Free” program, during which one person may ride free alongside a fare-paying customer on all MTS routes.
