With breakdancing making its debut as an official Olympic sport at this year's summer Olympics, Courtnaé Paul, a 32-year-old breaker from Durban, is fighting for a spot in the global competition, and she will do whatever it takes to put her country and continent on the map.
Paul's journey into the world of dance began unexpectedly at the age of 11 during a church concert. Despite her initial focus on gymnastics and kickboxing, Paul discovered her talent for dance and soon joined the church's dance team.
"I realised I had a little bit of rhythm, you know, and then taking my gymnastic background, I would do these little tricks that are included in my dances without realising this would be the early making for becoming a B-Girl," she told News24.
