    I’m so tired of hearing about this…

    The thing is, at least she gave it a shot even if it was stupid and she sucks at it. She’ll be the most popular person at the pub.I actually wish I had that opportunity even if the Internet laughed at me honestly

      I guess the story is that she’s actually really talented, but she decided she wasn’t up to the level of the competition so she opted for a less technical, more expressive routine.

      Or at least that’s what my research turned up after watching that.

        I’m not buying that. Her moves were slow and awkward, not “less technical.” She had zero relationship with the music. She spent most of her time flopping like a fish. Slowly. I feel like she got lost while looking for the interpretive dance competition.

        Wanna spread misinform real fast? Tell people she was a meme candidate chosen for her legendary super bowl performance as left shark. That’s more believable than “she can actually breakdance.”

          It’s genuinely not. Her PhD is in the cultural politics of breakdancing. That’s exactly what the other person said but less concise.

            And I could have a PhD in Cinema but it doesn’t mean I’ll be a good director. That’s not the point of the degree.

          Her PhD is in investigating the cultural/social context and implications of women in breakdancing. It’s not PhD in performing breakdancing.
