00:00To see that hip-hop continues today in battles, at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, is a
00:26great recognition.
00:27And I believe that this recognition, we owe it to these 30 years that we have spent,
00:32all of us, to fight, to hang on, to believe in our dream, so that this dance can have
00:40a place like any other dance in the choreographic landscape.

01:11the French youth from the popular neighborhoods, dancing at the heart of the city of Paris.
