In season 2’s episode number 16, Prevail talks to us about breaking, the origins of hip hop and his efforts to highlight Salvadoran culture in something we’ve always been a part of. We also talk about breaking making it into the next Olympic games and why you should never call someone a “break dancer.”
Luis Toledo aka “Prevail” is a Salvadorian b-boy from Long Island, New York. He is part of the 4th generation of the first b-boy/breakdance crew from the Bronx, NY named the Mighty Zulu Kingz/Kweenz. For nearly 20 years, Prevail has been involved as a dancer, competitor and event coordinator in the breaking/hip-hop scene.
