the the tempest is what makes freaking special is the range of options you have. you can totally be yourself by one. come can decide what message you want to express that's . that's his kind of tied. made us with a girl something get told to just smile and be nice and polite and quiet like it's breaking. i can be loud and bad and bring kind of another business. i'm so it's been me since i didn't exactly grow up in a well off family for a long time. we lived off welfare for the house. he's a live video

i guess, you know breaking is my big thing. i started when i was 13, and now i live completely from is it from the, from breaking the law in my big dream was to become an athlete at least. and is really my advice is to throw yourself into a tough situation and just go through it. and by the way, you knew as who is a well greeting dancer arrives, the top of the sport began here. that's a youth club. think hello is getting phone calls because i grew up and my parents are both hardest to spend. years was trying to establish themselves and that i moved out when i was 18. i've

always been a fighter who can find that to okay, perfect. yeah, some pick them on the do you lose mother was believes in how to stick potential laws up to us and it was funny when i took and took it, then i hated it. forceful. like how she had to do all the standard routine headquarters is that wasn't her thing and she didn't stick it out for a long long. so i'm all about the car one day, the printer's world championships in pounds way or and tv on and i saw that some fix it like she was maybe 11,

but i got her out of bed and said she absolutely have to watch that is that the problem, most sites in the most conservative it can be about on cuz i was supposed to have to some point i realized this was my thing that i was expecting the dental and i've done 7 years in gymnastics in the dandy. there was a lot of stuff i wasn't allowed to do because i couldn't do what they wanted. and that same window, i went to my 1st breaking class back in breaking for the live in some kind of know mind just isn't what people normally associate with sports events were part of the hip hop culture. they visited b j and we never know what music he's going to play next in this type of. so you can't choreographed your moods beforehand with the audience. the athlete and the teacher are all part. see you then

the competition. and then dig into that, we call our competitions battle is with people across from each other. and then it says it's normally 2 or 3 rounds, but sometimes 4 or 5 kind of my field or some fan of and try that. and then the jury decides that comes good pending on the musicality and creativity and techniques. missions on how many loves the transition transitions. the transition is the mission of who i transition is. the mission with head spins and back clips are cool, but nothing special. what matters is what makes yours different, like mine has been align with this as i'm not now to see the

she now lives in berlin. just 2 years off the getting into breaking. she was already teaching dance courses herself, but also performing him small scale shows. this is sites on this thing. i wasn't able doctor until 2016 promised to shop, but then i wanted to earn a living with shows. it took a while that was even mitchell setting that happened with things that were about 18 months. and i was often working at supermarket checkouts and serving breakfast in hotels. we long what say this was a, has been have this fall at some point. it turned out i had something unique if i could do both choreography and tricks that nobody else could do with that. she's been happy to pass on that growing experience at the flying steps academy. but lynn

has that comment said some tile, i did a lot of commercial dancing before training. full time is an athlete. and going to meet the what did you want to say the most? i miss out to mom job at this one job where it wasn't clear beforehand. what am i supposed to do? you know, at the moms or, and the way it was treated and talked to make me feel uncomfortable, the phone just especially as a woman does not seem to hold what to do extra. he has. what about you have a costume to come by. what once handed a cost to me, a silver mini skirt, if it didn't even glitter that loves live and withheld her panties underneath, in a silver bikini, i never felt so uncomfortable need. will it be for the end of voice that job made me realize where my boundaries were some type of justice. and after that, i'd refuse, which probably got me on the wrong side of the odd choreographer or what they didn't want you to say. want to just any, the answer is just confused. sometimes i think it's about showing as much skin as

possible from drop, which is exactly what they said with the one job. i mean we have these wicked outfits in the customer. was this big fancy car brand? hi, fancy, well on this and they said no 95 percent of the audience are meant and they want to see your skin a fast body. i'm that was the message, the industry and to get ahead in the industry, you'll need to build yourself the shield to say this is me and this is what i'm about. and these are my boundaries and that 51 definitely can reset it. shuts was the saturday, that's good. i like the, the style me, but that's not me. a defendant. i'm more of the kind of was i'm just gonna go there . so what's the hyphen life is confidential? thank you for coming along and thank you for your input. it's been great and i just seen it come to the scene is 70 percent then and i'm the states, the 1st man got sponsorship deals, and 2003 goals. the 1st woman in 2018 jewish

for that my breakthrough wasn't 20. you mean that outbreak year of where i came the 2nd time on that the state and it was, i went to the us a couple of months later and came 2nd again at the silver back up and have some good things to try and kind of showed that i was up there with the bass and even so the bronze medal at the 2019 world championships cemented that continuity united classroom because we had put that continuity was interrupted by setbacks and tough times. so i think this is my low point. this was in 2025. i was stressed out, i guess of the band demik competitions and the sport now going olympic, any competition on us, which is individuals in the votes, this is a lot of people aren't aware of the pressure and expectations involved once you've been successful about them with a survey to about the at the cancer i got cramps on the right hand side of my body . that kind of left was practically paralyzed on his back country. yeah,

no pain and cold, but i just couldn't control my body than to fix the house. we tried acupuncture and dumb or to use it on time. it turned out i had a slips disk which was a massive slo mentally because i thought it was over by the and then i have interested in then i had to try to to understand this and had to skip training for a week. and as i've been saying, i've noticed nothing since then because i'm also like come down to think of completely switching off bid me a lot of good. well that's the i. then i spent 3 months in mexico and other places . yes. obviously if i still have that pro lapse, but it doesn't, they're not. i mean the, she's now up to london for the next major meeting. despite having suffered a tone include ligaments, 2 months prior boyfriend to the tex. both of a breakdown to his joining on a trip to the u. k. championship. event had i'm

a loop along the event within the tradition u. k. thames given winning the u. k. champs as massive and means you're among the best dancers out there. yeah. bringing home this title would be legit. yeah. for all too long women would know exactly. welcome and the breaking the theme. a lot of events are still cold. be boy battles, even when there was so cold be goes competing because i'm gonna feel like we still need progress and get that will probably never be 5050, but over time i'm sure they'll be more gross competing with that side stuff. i'm tom man made us of the this time it's a quote of final exit for the new at the hands of depends never roomy. somebody

have a nice, it's a decent result. 9 says i want to make it to the main stage amount of the topic. and i did on the service to shop the 2024 presents and whole to get the new kind of stage when breaking data, use as an admin pick discipline. and it start turning point for the entire theme for the sports and a huge opportunity because you do remember this vehicle and then a lim, fixer approach. anyone and the qualification rounds are next year to dive on up several weeks. i certainly don't. okay, because i always make it to the top 8 and international events. so the last 16 that shouldn't be a problem, but at least to split the inside the will it work as an electric event face off between districts sporting rules and the freedom of breaking is a big thing with the olympics for the whole hip hop community. but the limits don't
