Episode 210
About the Episode
An entirely new medal event will debut at the Olympics in about two weeks: breaking, or what’s perhaps more widely known to the uninitiated as breakdancing. What began at block parties in the Bronx will be going for gold in the heart of Paris. John Yang speaks with dancer and choreographer Ivan "Flipz" Velez about the significance of this moment.
