Red Bull Dance City Guide: Take a tour of Toronto with B-Girl Konatsu
Originally from Okayama, Japan, Konatsu Yamasa made the move to Canada in 2016 to take the Toronto break scene by storm, and that's exactly what she's doing. Check out the video and see for yourself.
Meet Konatsu Yamasa: Hailing originally from Japan’s Sunshine State, Okayama, the B-girl dropped everything to move to Canada and pursue breaking in Toronto. Her well-versed dynamic flow, veteran footwork, and technical power moves have caught international attention since making it to the TOP 16 of Red Bull BC One E-Battle 2020.
She currently trains with SuperNaturalz crew, and works on her style of breaking that prioritizes complex flow, original thread, power moves, and freeze stacking -- things she clearly excels at, as seen in the latest Red Bull Dance City Guide Toronto. Konatsu also dances with Kuru Crew, a high level B-girl crew that aims to push the limits of Toronto-thread style. ️
