Overcoming obstacles and defying the odds

Posted on October 21, 2008

I’ve yet to meet anyone who has seen breaking and not been mesmerized, even if just for a moment. When I ask if they’ve ever tried it themselves, most people respond that they’re incapable of it.

ILL-abilities is a crew of b-boys whom many might have written off as incapable of breaking. Each of the 4 crew members suffers from a disability. But rather than let that be a limitation, they’ve each managed to learn how to break. Tommy Guns had his right leg amputated after being diagnosed with Osteosarcoma; Checho was born with lower body malformations; Lazy Legs is restricted by Arthrogryposis; and Kujo is almost 90% deaf. These amazing dancers have not only overcome their disabilties, they’ve conquered them.
