Break. A tribute to the crazy-talented dancers who like to throw their bodies at the floor and miss. At one point in the novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, one of the main characters, Ford Prefect, explains how to fly:

The Guide says there is an art to flying", said Ford, "or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

I feel that this is precisely what breakdancers do: They throw themselves at the ground and miss. In the most beautiful and spectacular ways. Recently I've viewed a number of TikTok videos of people really taking it to the next level. Like I'm talking about 10 second headspins with no hand assist, that kind of stuff. Needless to say, the athleticism and training that this takes is inconceivable, and I just want to say thank you to those brave souls who throw themselves at the ground in the hopes of missing, all to provide me with the joy of watching the human body exceed its limits in a way that is a pure pleasure to watch. Thank you!
