“Bam! Boom! Hop! Hop! And hop ! “. Here are the instructions that punctuate the daily training of Cléa, 15, a student in the hip-hop sports section in a Parisian high school. This young “b-girl” (“b” for breakdance, which combines figures on the ground) is “a student like the others” since she follows a normal second general course there… except that she continues, every evening, with two hours of dance training!
” It’s been a year and a half that precarious students struggle »
This passionate native of Cap d’Agde has only one objective: to get closer to the French team to have a chance to participate in the Olympic Games. Because “the break will return to the Paris 2024 Olympics, specifies David Bérillon, head of the hip-hop section. And Cléa is a bit unique in our school: we trained other breakers, boys, but this is the first time that we have a girl of such a level and with this specialty! “.
“We are starting to see more and more girls in break battles, rejoices Jade, a friend of Cléa. So, why not a team of girls at the Olympics? With Cléa in it, I hope! “. The person concerned, she, sees even much further: “Me, my biggest dream, it would be to become a choreographer. Ah, that would be so good! “, she enthuses.
