The people at the top of their game, are not only great dancers, but extremely athletic. I don't know what that was. It certainly does not look like break dancing.
Imagine a gymnast so bad that they did not score a single point. Not completing even the most basic moves.
Breakdancing is not just about dancing, it is also about showcasing skill, creativity and athleticism.

Even if you are not a fan of breakdancing - You can't watch this and think what Raygun did should be taken seriously.
