Hi! I'm Hitomi Nakamura, a 19-year-old from Japan. I started breaking 3 years ago and got quickly obsessed with it. Wanting to get better as fast as possible, I trained every day until I fractured my ribs 3 times in just 6 months and was misdiagnosed with a spinal cord injury that made it difficult to walk straight in the next few years. 

​

Speaking with dancers from all over the world, I learned that my injury wasn’t just personal. Breakers neglect their health in a culture that celebrates endurance. 

​

I wanted to change that, which is why I created this podcast. My podcast is filled with information that I wish I had known before I got injured, so we can keep dancing (which we love!) as long as possible.
