Breakdancing around the World: Kazakhstan

Posted on November 4, 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 “Breakdancing around the World” blog to showcase b-boys and b-girls from all around the globe.

Like many Americans, I didn’t know much about the country of Kazakhstan until after Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan came out. It’s embarrassing to admit, but it wasn’t until I saw that movie did I pursue more information. To my surprise, I found a country rich with history, culture and an emerging global presence; not only is it the richest country in Central Asia, it’s also the 9th largest in the world.

Another little known fact is that the country has some extremely talented breakers. Check out the b-boys from Simple System and Nu Pogodi at the Threestyle 3 on 3 competition held in Kazakhstan this past September.
