Breakdancing around the World: Brazil

Posted on November 25, 2008

Though breaking started in the Bronx, NY, it has since grown from a U.S. fad to world-wide phenomenon. I‘ll periodically post a “Breaking all over the World” blog to showcase b-boys and b-girls from all around the globe.

One of the world’s top emerging markets has a not-so-emergent breaking scene. Analysts and investors may regard Brazil as one BRIC’s four horseman but in the b-boy community, Brazil has been on the map for a while.

Coming from Sao Paulo, Tsunami All Stars take their city’s motto, “Non ducor, duco” (”I am not led, I lead”), to heart. From local dance floors to Battle of the Year in Germany, this crew is leading a new wave of Brazilian b-boys. Here’s a clip of their performance at South Korea’s World B-Boy Champion and Urban Arts Festival (R16) this past May:

  1. I lived in Brasil for 3 months, and danced a little with some bboys in Sao Paolo. They’re definitely welcoming, and all the power heads can do their power both ways… which completely blew my mind.
