As I continue my journey with dance, I have learned that there are a ton of traditions that street dancers follow, one of which is birthday rounds. I think it’s different depending on where you’re from, but here in Indiana, when it’s your turn to do birthday rounds, you have to battle your friends for the number of rounds that corresponds to how old you are. So, for example if you’re 30, you have to do 30 rounds. It’s an endurance test, let me tell you. It’s a physical challenge for you to pace yourself and battle.
It’s also a chance for your friends to show you support as a gifted round. Here is video evidence of my friend Kadeems birthday rounds. Enjoy! See how he gets more and more tired towards the end of the video.
