The Chinese break dancers arrived late in the day. Each afternoon and evening they dance to promote a new sporting goods store.
I was sitting next door, on the patio of our local coffee purveyor, camera in hand to document a Kentuckians Chinese-style Derby party. I needed a smaller lens, the 70-200 to big to get all the action without me leaving my seat. Yes, lazy. I should have bought the 24-85 f/2.8 when I had the chance.
Do people in the west still break dance? I thought this a dead art form.
Break dancing has gone the way of disco here. That guy is doing it the hard way, right on the pavement! Here they always carried cardboard to dance on.

There still everywhere it seems – even seen them in corny hip hop vids and movies

Cool shot! Really like the angle.
Lola´s last blog post..Postcard: Goaaaal!
Shawn: I thought so. Yes, I wondered where the cardboard was. Maybe Chinese breakdancers are tougher than their western counterparts?
QR: Somethings never change.
Lola: Thanks, I’m quite happy with it.

How does that not hurt your hair?

Ron: I think he had a rotating cap installed inside his skull.
I often wonder if those guys end up bald after a while.
They still break dance here. Saw quite a bit of it in New Orleans and b-dancers occasionally make an appearance on television (the dance shows).

Robin: I wonder that too. It’s nice to know the art hasn’t died out.
It was popular here in New York in the 70s and 80s. I don’t see much anymore at all. A lot of fun.
Mike: Too bad for NYC.
HAHA ON THE PAVEMENT! ONLY IN CHINA!
(i’m chinese by the way so i’m not mocking discriminatorily)
