  2. 0.2 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Bashar Musa, board member of the Palestinian Gymnastics Federation.

Breakdance, the hip hop dance style that began on the streets of New York City more than 30 years ago has become popular with youth all over the world, even breaking through the tight Israeli blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip.

The organizers of the show say that the sport of breakdancing and parkour has begun to spread widely among Palestinian youth.

According to the organizers, they said that the youths found an outlet in such sports, especially with the strict Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip.

One of the organizers of the show said that these sports, like football and others, are loved by children and young people in particular, but they face challenges, the most important of which is the Israeli blockade that prevents young people who play this sport from representing Palestine abroad.
