Australian viral breakdancer ‘Raygun’ is challenging the world to a $15K dance-off
The comments are ... not great.
Raygun has absolutely had it with the world’s mockery. It’s been months since the Australian breakdancer kangaroo-hopped her way to virality at the Paris Olympics, but still people are roasting her on the regular. Now she’s putting up a cash challenge to the world to out-dance her.
The website Finder in Australia is sponsoring a $15,000 dance-off with $5K to the best individual, and $10K to the best team who is selected to have danced better to a common track titled Finder Beat. If you’re wondering how difficult that might be, well, judging from Raygun’s entry it might not be that difficult.
I’m not saying that anyone could out-dance Raygun, because honestly, she does have some moves — but to be honest, you could probably find any breakdancing crew in the world and there would likely be someone with experience who could do better than this. It’s a lot of very basic moves designed to sell people on using an Australian deals site, without any flash, and as for musicality, well it’s pretty lacking.
The comments on Instagram are absolutely brutal.
“a lot of self-esteem in you but very little talent.”
“My 9 year old does better then you lol ☠️”
“Our local junior competitions show higher levels of skill.... this is nothing more then a publicity stunt to make the most of something that should have never happened.”
“Someone come collect your aunty, she’s doing it again.”
“Sorry that ain’t breaking, that’s just posing with extra steps”
So yeah, this is already going great.
