We all know it’s just not possible, but I would love to go and compete with the Afghan team alongside other girls,” Talash told Reuters as she prepared to train in a public square in the Vallecas neighborhood of Madrid.
“A few months ago, it was just a dream, but now that I’m living inside my dream, I’m really happy. I can look in the mirror and tell myself that I’ve made it here.”
Breaking, a competitive variation of breakdancing that combines dance technique, artistic flair, and acrobatic maneuvers, will debut at the Paris Olympics in July.
A fresh perspective will be added to the dance competition as sixteen ‘B-Girls’ and sixteen ‘B-Boys’ compete in the style that originated in the 1970s Bronx of New York.
Talash claimed that not just her family disapproved of her new passion, despite being the only girl among the 56 members of the Superiors Crew, a small but devoted breaking community in Kabul. As news of Afghanistan’s first B-Girl spread, she began to receive death threats.
Many conservative Afghans dislike all forms of dancing, and they object even more strongly to women participating in public affairs – some of them violently.
“We received three bomb threats to our club, and after the police came and arrested a man who was planning to attack our club, they ordered us to close it because they said it was a major threat not only to ourselves but to the people in the neighborhood,” Talash explained.
