. She did, however, see this coming because"something so cool to watch like breaking, it's bound to have commercial attention."
For dancers like Edra who are active competitors and voices for the breaking scene, she knows there's a bit of hesitation"where we hope we can handle this commercial attention in a way where the culture is taken care of," where it's protected. The attention, though, is needed for the evolution of the art form, she said, and she feels confident dancers will be able to evolve along with it.
When asked if she's considering the Olympics as a future goal, Edra said her solid answer, at the moment, is that she's undecided."I'm growing a lot as a person and changing a lot as a person, also experiencing what's going on in the world at the same time. There's priorities that have just shifted in terms of my professional career," she stated.
"I'd say a majority of B-boys and B-girls don't have a coach. They train on their own, but if they have a crew, they'll bounce off ideas," Edra explained, adding,"I noticed, just for me, which is very different from other breakers, I need to not rely so much on people telling me what to do, but I kind of have to make the decision on my own." This way, what she brings to her breaking, she said, feels entirely like her.
"I've always felt called to do it. I feel like one reason is to help empower women in the scene, especially women of color.
