陳嘉怡

English

Chan Ka Yi, who dances as B-Girl Lady Little, is a Hong Kong breaker and a member of the local crew Good Job Brother, one of the women on the Hong Kong breaking team. She has danced for more than a decade and in 2023 was part of the Hong Kong, China delegation for the breaking events at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, alongside team-mates including Wong Chiu-wai, Sze Ka-yam and Tsang Tsz-wa; the same year she placed 40th in the women's event at the WDSF Breaking World Series in Hong Kong with 226.6 points and won the year's Freestyle Battle. In November 2025 she competed in the women's individual breaking at the 15th National Games in Guangzhou, held at the Guangzhou Sport University. She finished last in the qualifying round and, speaking to Hong Kong media afterwards, broke down in tears, saying she had been overwhelmed by the thought of the more than ten years she had persevered to reach that stage. She is not a full-time athlete: by day she works as a medical assistant in a hospital, taking on much work similar to nursing; after work she travels about two hours to a dance studio to train for roughly three hours, reaching home after 1am and rising again at 7am, at least four days a week, leaving her only five or six hours of sleep a night. Asked what sustained her, she said she simply loves dancing and would keep dancing even without a major competition, adding that breaking had changed her personality and her life. Breaking is not a permanent Olympic sport, and most Hong Kong breakers hold other jobs, training and competing in their spare time, with the DanceSport Association of Hong Kong selecting the team through open competitions and a points system. Chan's story reflects the dedication of the city's amateur breakers chasing a stage with limited resources.
