Breakdancing around the World: Canada

Posted on December 30, 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 around the World” blog to showcase b-boys and b-girls from all around the globe.

I’ve never understood why Americans poked fun at Canada so much but their b-boys are definitely no joke.  I wrote about the impact of Canadian b-boys Buddha and Lazy Legs but some others have also been very influential. Bag-o-Trix and Supernaturalz crews both helped popularize threading, an intricate footwork style (also known as origami style) that many b-boys do today.

Here’s a highlight clip of Dyzee of Supernaturalz Crew where he does a lot of threading:
