B-Boys in Vegas.

I recently found an article talking about a B-Boy dancer who was performing in Las Vegas at the Extreme Thing Sports and Music Festival. C-Lev, the b-boy dancer, explains to the reporter the different styles of b-boy dancing and how he came to be a champion b-boy dancer. C-Lev also talks about his life growing up and dancing for his friends at their bat-mitzvahs. One important thing that he spoke about was the influence this type of dance has on the younger generation. In class, we watched several movies in which dance was a way to keep kids out of gangs and violence. A guy by the name of Tunay Ink has been a B-boy since 1980. In the article he stated, "Break dancing allows kids to express themselves in a positive way, as opposed to them taking it onto the streets. It will always have appeal." Dancing has always been a great way to influence others, not just in the studio or on stage, but in the community as well.
