Psykiskt välmående inom breaking

Detta avsnitt handlar om positiva och negativa aspekter av breakingens inverkan på mental hälsa. Medproducent för det här specifika avsnittet är Emelie Kazemi, dansare och Ptp-psykolog. Vi tar avstamp i en enkät som publicerades i facebookgruppen ”Svensk breaking” där vi ställde frågor på ämnet. Utöver det intervjuar via Peter Lovatt aka Dr Dance samt Robin Leo aka Lil Rob från U-Town Crew/Grounded Crew. Helt klart det bästa avsnittet hittills.
