Thousands at Rod Laver Arena were in raptures when the Olympic breaker was introduced onto the stage during Tones and I’s fitting hit, Dance With Me. “Everybody, give it up for Australian Olympian, Raygun!” Tones and I said during the performance.
The 37-year-old breaker then took centre stage for the last chorus of the song, performing a snippet of the then-infamous dances that earned her zero points in all three of her Olympic round robin battles, including her signature kangaroo move, which is now celebrated as “iconic”. The crowd and stage were showered in confetti when the Raygun kangaroo came out, which was followed by a choreographed performance with backup dancers. “Everybody, would you please give it up for an Australian icon, the most iconic break dancer there is, Raygun!” Tones and I said at the end of the song.
Posting on Instagram the morning after the performance, Raygun said it was a thrill to be up there. “What an amazing experience! Thank you.
