Spectators might think the floor has springs the way Jeffrey Louis effortlessly bounces into the air, propelled only by the palms of his hands. He smoothly transitions into a series of spins and twists broken up by his quick footwork. Every move he makes corresponds to the beat of the song playing over the speakers around him.
Louis is one of 32 breakdancers – known as “breakers” — competing at the 2024 Olympic Games.
A lifelong Houstonian, Louis doesn’t know if he would have made it to the world stage if it were not for growing up in Alief — located in the heart of Harris County Precinct 4.
