Watching the dancers at the SZA and Kendrick concert felt just like watching a live version of what we practice in hip-hop class—just way more advanced. I recognized breakdancing, popping, and house, and for the first time, I felt like I could see myself in what was happening on stage.

In Belize, dancing is about more than entertainment—it’s about identity. Whether it’s the smooth beats of punta or the storytelling in brukdown, I saw how dance connects to culture, history, and the stories people carry.
