Break dancing used to pride itself on inclusivity – so why is it in the Olympic Games but not the Paralympics? Break dancing has at last made it to the Olympic Games.

Because break dancing wasn’t linked to an institution or membership organisation, anyone of almost any background could compete to gain acceptance.
