Welcome back!

Street perfomers,including including street dancers, can be found in almost any subway station, park or street corners of New York.

In this podcast we talk to three "street performers" from "New York." Rick, Ray and Lavelle, the b-boys or breakdancers have been performing for over 20 years and they are an utter delight to watch.

The next time you visit New York try and spend sometime watching these street performers, a unique feature of this vibrant and dynamic city.

You can always find a couple of them either in Times Square subway station or out on the streets.

Happy New Year. Thank you for your support and for tuning in to our show.
