B-Boy HK Ishida Talks Breakdance Culture and Olympic Controversy

Breakdancing battles, Olympic controversy, underground dance culture, and one VERY strong opinion about coffee grinders… this episode has it all. This episode features HK Ishida, a Bay Area breakdancer, house head, and one of the most thoughtful people we’ve had on the podcast. We dive deep into breaking culture, competitive art, dance battles, getting older in the scene, the Olympics, Raygun discourse, house music culture, and why HK thinks dance exists somewhere between sport and art. Also: the lightning round gets wildly philosophical for absolutely no reason. Throw us a follow and a 5 star review if you're enjoying the podcast (if not, send us a glitter bomb!)
