Show Notes

Paris 2024 will see the debut of the competitive street dance, Breaking.

From the streets of the Bronx in the 70s to sport's biggest stage, we hear from the pioneers and the athletes hoping to turn their passion into a lucrative career.

Breaking isn’t currently on the list for the next games in LA in 2028, so could it be a one-hit wonder?
