Evolution of Bboying in Nepal

Dance has been an integral part of life for human beings. Apart from busy life, dance lovers manage their some time just to enjoy themselves, similarly landlocked country like Nepal (between India and China), people seems to spare their time for celebrating themselves in different ways. One of them is a dance.
Though there are many dance centers in Kathmandu valley, but specific center for B-Boying in Nepal, has been promoted by "Mr. Anup Prakash" (Mickey B), Nepal Hiphop Foundation, located in lainchaur, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Mickey B says, he was inspired to do something for the younger generation of Nepal after seeing street dancers perform inside a Bangkok sky train. Though he was moved by the sight of the train brimming with young spectators eagerly watching and enjoying the show, it was watching the movie You Got Served that transformed his inspiration into action. In 2008, Mickey hired some professional dancers from Thailand and brought them to Nepal to establish the Nepal Sports Dance Institute. The crew's remarkable performance at the United World Trade Centre on 8 April 2008 for an anti- drug campaign brought the b-boying dance style into the Nepali limelight.
 Born to Thai and Tibetan parents, Mickey came to Nepal when he was eight years old because his parents thought Thailand was lacking in good English-medium schools. He followed an unconventional route to adulthood, which included a nine-year period as a monk in a monastery in Kalimpong. This has all led to a unique combination, and seeing his tattooed neck and arms, it is clear that he has established a healthy balance between what he calls his Eastern upbringing and a career choice inspired by Western street culture. Mickey thinks it's good to adopt Western concepts, but by modifying them to fit the Eastern society. "Why not, for instance, adapt b-boying for health reasons, polish it a little and give it an eastern image?" asks Mickey, who is determined to make Nepal known in the global b-boying scene.
B-boying is new not only to Nepal but to most of Asia, and Mickey sees it as a powerful activity to prevent youngsters from using drugs, one of his main reasons for promoting this style of dance in the country. "B-boying demands focus on good health, so no smoking or late night drinking because it kills stamina and confidence", says Mickey, expressing his frustrations on increasing drug use among young people in Nepal and elsewhere.
"Going to the gym can be expensive and boring, while the benefits of b-boying are almost the same. And what's fun about it is that there are no rules involved. Moreover, it looks cool so lots of youngsters pay attention to it", says Mickey.
His team left a very good impression in the Seacon Street Challenge held in Thailand last year, and they are now busy preparing for the 2014 B-boying World Championship. Nepal will be one of the first countries in South or East Asia to participate in this event. Since Nepal's political situation or economic state has nothing to contribute to b-boying, Mickey says "the state of stadiums or development in Nepal will not be a hindrance to making Nepal known for b-boying, because it is really just about determination, coordination and creativity".
