Japanese BGirls of Body Carnival

Something different, I'm loving their style and passion, but most of all their advice certainly rings true :) Have a look and listen plus below is a transcript of some of the captions (2:06 onwards). Enjoy!

When asked about the number of b-girls performing at a high level in Japan:
"Something I've noticed from traveling overseas to events is that Japanese judging tends to be more clear and consistent. A b-girl might do good power, or a nice freeze and get a good reaction from the crowd, but the judge still looks at the b-girl as an equal to who she's competing and makes the decision based solely on performance. If she's only good as a girl she won't win against b-boys in Japan. Japanese b-girls can't just be good for a girl, they have to be good enough to legitimately beat the b-boys in order to win events. So I think that's what drives the b-girls to a higher level in Japan."
Advice to the b-girls around the world:
"Don't be satisfied with just getting props for doing some move like a freeze or armchair as a girl, Don't think of it as a boy or a girl, instead try to think "As a dancer, what level am I at?" I think that training with that in mind will be better for your overall development"
