Breaking, tuo upea tanssilaji, valloittaa nyt olympialavat! Pandaamalla DJ-dekit ja loistavat liikkeet, tämä on hetkesi. Kuka voittaa kultaa?

Valmistaudu rytmiin ja hurjiin pyörähdyksiin, sillä breaking, tuo energinen ja jännittävä tanssilaji, tekee olympiadebyyttinsä Pariisissa 2024! Tanssijat, tai kuten heitä kutsutaan, B-boyt ja B-girlit, näyttävät parhaat liikkeensä ja taidot 9. elokuuta. Tämä ei kuitenkaan ole tavallinen tanssinkilpailu; breaking yhdistää akrobaattisen taituruuden, rytmin ja taiteellisuuden tavalla, joka vie katsojat aivan uuteen maailmaan. Puhuttaessa breakingista, ei tietenkään ole hullumpi idea mainita, että kyseessä ei ole vain breakdance, vaan puhdasta breaking-taidetta, jota tuodaan olympialaisiin isot odotukset mielessä!

Breaking on yksi harvoista uusista lajeista, jotka saavat mahdollisuuden kisata kesäolympialaisissa, ja se onkin levinnyt juuriltaan kaupungin kaduista, jonne se syntyi 1970- ja 1980-luvuilla. Tuona aikana sen harrastajat improvisoivat ja kehittivät omia tyylejään, malo ei ollut kyse vain kilpailusta, vaan myös kulttuurista. Breakingin tuominen olympialaisiin on suuri askel kohti lajin sosiaalista hyväksyntää ja sen arvostamisen nousemista. Ja kun puhutaan kulttuurista, ei sovi myöskään unohtaa, että breaking on enemmän kuin vain tanssia; se on yhteisön, energian ja rytmin yhdistelmä.

Olympialaisissa nauttiminen ei pysähdy vain tanssijalahjakkuuteen, sillä yleisö saa myös nauttia huikeista esityksistä, missä DJ:t ja visuaalit tekevät tapahtumasta unohtumatonta. Mutta miten kilpailu sitten toimii? Tanssijoilla on oma tuomaristo, joka arvioi heidän suorituksiaan tekniikan, luovuuden ja esityksen perusteella, ja joka lyö kättä niin kovan kuin näiden tanssijien taidot ovat. Ja onko tullut jo mainittua, että myös Snoop Dogg on entistä enemmän kiinnostunut breakingista? Kyllä, musiikkimaailman kuningas on liittynyt asiasta talkoisiin Los Angelesin 2028 olympialaisten osalta!

Ja jos mietit, miten voit seurata tätä kokonaisuutta, niin sinäpä nostat hyviä kysymyksiä! Breakingin seuraamisen voi aloittaa jo $8 kuukaudessa Peacockin tilaamisen myötä. Atlantin toisella puolella kaikki taiteilijat katsovat ylpeinä kohti Pariisia, jossa eivät ainoastaan tanssia, vaan myös historiaa luodaan. Ja muista, että breakingilla on pitkä matka kaduilla alkaen, ja sen tuominen olympialaisiin on vain yksi todella suuri piirustus suurilta alueilta!

Mielenkiintoista on, että breaking on saanut paljon inspiraatiota hip hop -kulttuurista, ja sen juuret ulottuvat afroamerikkalaiseen tanssiin ja musiikkiin. Tämän lisäksi breakingin mukana tuomaa energiaa ja rytmiä on vaikeaa löytää muista olympialajeista – tämä on tarkalleen se, mikä tekee siitä niin erityisen. Jos olet koskaan halunnut oppia breakingia, nyt on aika tehdä unelmista totta ja aloitettava treenaaminen!
