    Australia straight up just doesn’t have a breaking scene comparable to the rest of the world, ESPECIALLY for women. She is genuinely the best they had to offer, and she was made fun of by her own country BEFORE the olympics had even taken place.

    She’s a cultural studies professor at Macquarie University and her doctoral thesis was titled “Deterritorializing Gender in Sydney’s Breakdancing Scene: A B-girl’s Experience of B-boying”. She’s genuinely spent a large portion of her life studying break dancing as an artistic form of cultural expression.

    She’s also now the “bad breakdancing meme girl” and boy howdy that just bums me out.
