Break-Dancing (With Clothes On)

The other night while out strolling before dinner (OK, I admit I was looking — unsuccessfully — for those half-naked male Brazilian dancers), I arrived in time to catch a group of break-dancers.



These guys are on the paseo every night. They put on quite a long show, usually while we're having dinner, so I can't catch more than a minute or two. This time, I was able to watch the entire performance. I hope you enjoy the three videos.

And, just so you know, I could do all these moves if I wanted to. I just don't want to.

  1. Break dance rule number one, shirts and tops must not be tucked in.

  2. WOW! These guys were great! Hope they got a 'hat-full' that evening!
    Imagine, Mitchell, doing that every night.....what a 'core' we would have! Speaking for myself of course.

      They seem to do well. I saw at least a couple of 5 euros notes go into the hat. On top of performing well, they're really engaging and know how to connect with the audience. And, Jim, doing that once... what a 'sore" we would have! (Of course, also speaking for myself.)

      I wonder how many times they landed on their heads while learning their moves.

  4. I love break dancers, they are so fun to watch! I used to be able to do a few tricks myself, badly though, I should add!

      You're ahead of me. I never even tried to do a few of these tricks. But, if I did, I can guarantee it would have been very badly.

  5. Just shows what a little confidence and verve plus some physical suppleness will do. Or, as here, a lot.

  6. Of course you could do all those moves if you wanted to. Spain has good health care, doesn't it?

      Well, we've got private insurance. So we're covered. But... I don't think so. (I just don't feel like it.)
