Breakdancing is even going to the Olympics.
Ian Flaws was introduced to breakdancing while he was on a date in 1997. While the relationship with his date didn't last, the evening changed his life.
Years later, Flaws took his teaching certificate to Korea and Cambodia and started training seriously under world-class breakers while he earned money teaching. “Korea’s breakin’ scene was the best in the world. They went from unknown to dominating in just a couple years, elevating the level of dance with extremely dynamic power,” Flaws says.
He is candid about his past and understands it could rub some industry folks the wrong way. “I acknowledge my place as a guest within the culture,” he says. “I’ve taken every step to provide, promote and preserve this culture through the shared love of the art form. I just remind myself of my intentions, and I’m confident that I’m doing things in a way that is honorable and respectful.”
Flaws trains elite Bboys and Bgirls, pulling from his teaching background to organize his content into a thoughtful class structure with warmups, explanations of the movements, and giving space to play with the movement. His classes blend instruction with philosophy and life lessons. “If there’s five different breakers in my class, there should be five different stories to tell,” he says.
