She will only break at home with her partner.

Probably for the best.

Depends on the relationship with her partner.

I saw videos of her partner who is her coach and lmao it's the exact same "style" she has

Now's my chance, ONTD! Since the breaking queen has stepped down, I can take the crown! I'll try to remember you all when I'm tiktok famous!!

The design of this setup (as in, architecturally) does make a situation like this seem inevitable.

[theoryofwar]

are you doubting my break dancing skills?! I even managed to knock my own crocs off with how great they are!!

the architecture was probably a man tbh

[setsuna16]

No. I am not. I think such skills would have gotten more points than Raygun did at the Olympics.

But I also think that, eventually, someone, for certain, was going to eat shit without grace and poise.

“She will only break at home with her partner”

😭😭😭😂😂😂

Next we’ll be hearing how her partner broke up with her after that threat.

[ahkna]

Was she ever actually IN competitive breakdancing though? Let's be real here.

[accioanime]

she was technically ranked number 1 female by World Dance lmao.... like this woman really played the system well

I sorta feel bad for her. Her managing to qualify for the Olympics just highlights that there is something wrong with the scoring. Of course she took the brunt of the heat, but I’m questioning how she managed to qualify.

That said, I hope she continues dancing if it makes her happy.
