Trehan ’05 of the unofficial Harvard Breakers Organization (HBO) have been performing to packed crowds since their debut performances with the Contradictions Fashion Show and Expressions last semester. But this isn’t just fancy footwork. With moves derived from gymnastics, including flips, spins and flares, breakdancing is a way to get your full-body workout and be the life of the party. While it has taken the group several...
