    The Rise Of Female Breaking || Sarah Bee on Concrete Talks | Season 1 Ep. 4

    She never asked for a seat at the table. She took it and helped shape it for generations to come.  Sarah Bee is one of the most influential B-Girls of her generation. From becoming a Battle of the Year champion in 2008 to winning Red Bull BC One France, French Championships and performing on some of the biggest stages in the world, her journey has always been about breaking boundaries — in breaking and beyond. In this episode of Concrete Talks, host Trix sits down with Sarah Bee to look back at her journey from the early days of breaking to the Olympic era. They talk about her first BOTY memories. What it meant to win in 2008 as a woman in a male-dominated scene. The rise of Zamounda Crew and their impact as an all-female crew. Her transition from battles to shows, choreography and working with artists like Madonna. And what it means to balance commercial success with authenticity. They also dive into the evolution of breaking itself. Has social media changed dancers more than battles? Did the Olympics help B-Girls? Is originality more important than difficulty? Has breaking become more of a sport, an art form, or a culture? And can breaking continue to grow without losing its soul? From the concrete to the world stage, Sarah Bee has seen breaking change from the inside. This isn't just a conversation about one career. It's about women in breaking, responsibility, evolution, and what the next generation can take from the one that came before. 🎙️ Concrete Talks is the official podcast of Battle of the Year — the world's biggest breaking competition.

    Is Breaking Losing Its Identity? | Storm on Concrete Talks | Season 1 Ep. 3

    Two dancers. One full crew. 1992. Storm and Battle Squad stepped onto the Battle of the Year stage as underdogs and walked away as champions. But winning BOTY was only the beginning. Niels Robitzky aka. Storm is one of the true pioneers of breaking. A legendary B-Boy, choreographer, teacher and one of the minds behind the evolution of judging in the culture. In this episode of Concrete Talks, host Trix sits down with Storm for an unfiltered conversation about where breaking came from, how it changed, and where it is going. They go back to the early days of breaking. The 1992 BOTY final. The feeling of being part of something bigger. The shift around Expo 2000. And the evolution from competitor to judge — including Storm's involvement in developing the BOTY judging system. They talk about instinct versus structure. Freedom versus rules. Culture versus sport. And the question that has followed breaking for decades: Can breaking ever truly be judged objectively? Storm also takes on the HOT SEAT, faces some uncomfortable truths about the new generation, and decides what to KEEP or DROP — from Powermoves vs. Footwork to Cyphers vs. Big Stage Battles. This is a conversation about breaking, identity, evolution and responsibility — with someone who has been there from the beginning. 🎙️ Concrete Talks is the official podcast of Battle of the Year — the world's biggest breaking competition.
