B-Boying in Malta - My View

Breakdance has always been something new to me in Malta and still is till this date. Every year feels like never before. When I started 8 years ago I never thought breakdance could affect my life so much, I see breakdance in my life as being positively important!

In Malta our breakdance world is one of the tiniest style of dance, yet the power, greatness, peacefulness, kindness, positiveness and life I see in the people around it in our small country makes me really think and believe in a bigger community.

The journey has just started in Malta some years ago, on it's way to flourish generation after generation. The generations forming part of current breaking scene in Malta, some resulting from prior generations, have never been so high in the local level of breaking.
