Global Hip Hop Studies 4.2 is out now and Open Access! Special Issue
Intellect is pleased to announce that Global Hip Hop Studies 4.2 is out now!
Special Issue: ‘Breaking and the Olympics 2’
As nations across the world incorporate breaking into their national sports systems in anticipation of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the new dancesport classification has resulted in a number of tensions and possibilities among dancers. The increased support from state governments and commercial sponsors in recent years has noticeably impacted dancers and their prospective careers. While this development has been promising in some countries, a range of disparities has become apparent across the globe, particularly in relation to funding, stipends, salaries, and contracts from state agencies or local DanceSport organizations.
