Seleo Brasileira de Breaking se prepara para uma Nova Batalha de Dana

22/08/2023

Ritmos incr veis, footwork sofisticado, dan arinos talentosos, batalhas de tirar o f lego tudo isso comp e o Breaking, uma forma de dan a que combina movimentos complexos com dan a estilizada

Nascido nas comunidades negra e latina do Bronx, o Breaking se originou nos anos 70, no in cio do movimento Hip Hop. O nome refere-se aos breakbeats que definiram o som inicial do Hip Hop, que deu aos dan arinos a chance de mostrar seus movimentos. Ao longo dos anos 70 e 80, equipes de dan a se formaram e competiram entre si, introduzindo novas t cnicas como o headspin, freeze e o top rock.

M sica uma parte cr tica do Breaking, e os DJs que comandam as mesas geralmente misturam elementos de hip hop, jazz, disco, electro e muito mais para criar uma faixa atraente para os dan arinos, conhecidos como b-boys e b-girls.

No in cio dos anos 80, o Breaking ganhou for a no Brasil, proporcionando uma nova maneira para a juventude do pa s se conectar e interagir. E at hoje nas ruas de S o Paulo acontecem batalhas de dan a, com b-boys e b-girls disputando quem tem os melhores movimentos.

Em 2024, o Breaking far sua estreia ol mpica em Paris e o Brasil se prepara para os jogos. A sele o brasileira composta por seis estrelas de destaque: Leony, Luan San, Rato, Toquinha, Mini Japa e Nathana. Enquanto eles treinam, o Spotify est com eles a cada passo do caminho como patrocinador da equipe. Al m de apoiar eventos na comunidade do Breaking, estamos fornecendo ajuda financeira para a equipe competir em eventos nacionais e internacionais, bem como em seus treinamentos.

O For the Record conversou com os membros da equipe Leony e Toquinha para saber mais sobre o Breaking e onde eles veem o futuro do esporte.

Qual a sua parte favorita sobre Breaking? Leony: A liberdade, a parte que eu mais amo a liberdade dentro do breaking, a liberdade de poder fazer tudo no meu tempo, de fazer qualquer coisa que eu criar do meu jeito. A liberdade de ser e fazer aquilo que eu imagino com o meu breaking.

Toquinha: A melhor parte do breaking pra mim o sangue no olho e a adrenalina das batalhas!

Existe uma m sica ou artista em particular que voc gosta de ouvir? Leony: Eu sou f do A Tribe Called Quest. Pra mim o melhor grupo de rap que teve.

Toquinha: Eu gosto muito das m sicas do Veigh! Como dj, em especial pra treinar eu curto os beats do Dj Batata'Killa.

Leony

Qual foi sua rea o quando soube que o Breaking se tornaria um esporte ol mpico?

Leony: Fiquei feliz, eu sabia que isso alavancaria o breaking no mundo, e foi o que aconteceu.

Toquinha: Quando eu soube que o breaking estar nas olimp adas eu fiquei animada, ansiosa e motivada a treinar mais!

Muita improvisa o necess ria para ser bom em Breaking. O que mais voc acha que essencial para se destacar no esporte? Leony: Ter personalidade e ser original. Com certeza ser nico no breaking uma das coisas mais dif ceis e sem d vidas a mais valiosa.

Toquinha: Para se destacar no Breaking voc precisa ter estilo muito flow. Acredito que a persist ncia nos treinos a chave para desbloquear tudo oque o seu corpo alcan a e voc ainda n o sabe.

Toquinha

As Olimp adas certamente ajudar o a aumentar a compreens o e o conhecimento do Breaking. O que mais voc espera para o futuro do esporte? Leony: Espero que com toda essa exposi o, possamos alcan ar mais pessoas e mais lugares.

Toquinha: O breaking entrando no ramo ol mpico abriu muitas portas pra mim e tamb m pro resto do mundo. Eu treino e me dedico muito para que no futuro as coisas sejam mais f ceis para as novas gera es e isso o que eu espero!

Como tem sido ter o apoio do Spotify enquanto a equipe embarca nessa jornada?

Leony: Tem sido incr vel, n o s para n s como membros da sele o mas para o breaking nacional. Breaking e m sica s o um casal insepar veis e ter uma empresa como a Spotify ajudando a disseminar o breaking no Brasil sem d vidas tem ajudado muito. Isso n s d uma notoriedade e valor para alcan ar mais coisas.

Toquinha: Pra mim foi incr vel receber a proposta de patroc nio da Spotify.. bizarro o quanto Breaking e Spotify combinam!
