Kicking it with Yushu's yak-herding b-boys

While nomads by definition live on the move, Puqu and his nomadic peers live for the moves - that is, for break dancing.

Like many b-boys (break-dancing males) on the isolated grasslands flanking Qinghai province's Yushu, when the 13-year-old and his peers aren't studying or herding yaks, they're somersaulting, spinning, twisting and otherwise perfecting their b-boy skills to music unheard (at least by others).

Secluded highlands sparsely inhabited by ethnically Tibetan nomads may seem an unlikely foothold for the acrobatic dance genre believed to be born in New York's inner city in the 1970s.
