Break dance as Sport

Australian teenager Jeff Dunn will represent his country in a Break Dance competition according to a TV News Report. It seems to be the first recognition of break dance as sport.


I remember how the Break Dance Team of Cochin Refineries School won the first or second place in an Inter-school Break Dance Competition in 1984 (or 1985). Somehow I was asked to organise the team probably because I was considered to be good in Western Soft rock Music. I clearly remember the informal 'Zodiac' chequed cotton shirt and Denim Jeans pants that I wore for the occassion. I think that my students liked my physics teaching as well as my occassional soft rock songs (usually, originally sung by The Beatles).


Let me share The Beatles performing one of their popular songs titled 'Rain'.
