Here's a pretty dope story about b-boying (not "breakdancing") in Uganda and how it changed the life of one young man, and how he is trying to spread the dance across the country to other disadvantaged youth.
Breakdance Project Uganda is a grass roots organisation, founded in 2006 by Abramz Tekya, working with disadvantaged young people in Uganda through art, culture and social activities to give them hope and opportunities. The Project uses breakdancing as a tool to engage young people and give them a platform to be heard. Mad respect to b-boy Crazy Legsfor supporting the African b-boy movement.
Read more about Breakdance Project Uganda on their website. I really want to see the documentary about BPU called "Bouncing Cats"!
