Women Fitness President Ms. Namita Nayyar catches up with Chiara Ceseri B-Girl SpiderGirl – an exceptionally talented and accomplished Italian Breaking dancer. Here she talks about her fitness regime, diet, hair care, skincare routine and her success story.
Namita Nayyar:
Where were you born and had your early education? Breakdancing or breaking, also called b-girling (women), is a style of street dance originated by African Americans and Puerto Ricans in the Bronx. Breaking is the only new sport at the 2024 Paris Olympics. At what age did you start breakdancing and tell us about your journey to reaching the Italian Breaking team? This later propelled your career to the height where you have been a leading Break dancer, presently ranked 16th in the Youth, 19th in the Adult and 33rd in the Olympic Qualifier. Tell us more about your professional journey of exceptional hard work, tenacity, and endurance?
Chiara Ceseri:
I was born in Italy in 2007 and I’m currently 17 years old. I started breaking when i was 7 years old. At first i took it as an hobby, i was doing one hour each week and it was just for fun. i started soon to enjoyed it more and i trained more and harder. I won the first battles in 2016 and i went to the first Italian championship in 2018. I reached the first place in my category 8-11 years. Slowly people started to know me and the first invitations to the battles also arrived. I reconfirm myself Italian champion of my category from 2018 to 2024.
In a battle in Pisa a French Coach noticed me and I entered in a French crew called Flow Killerz. And I started to be invited to some battle in Europe. But the European championship in Manchester on November 2022 was the battle that changed everything. I went there just with my father and i reached the 7th position. The federation noticed me and called me to be part of the Italian breaking team that would have taken part in the qualifiers for the Olympics. From that moment it was like a dream, having sixteen years old and be able to dance in big stage like these it was surreal. I did a very good journey and I’m proud of myself for everything. Even though I didn’t qualify myself at the Olympics just for two positions I’m very happy about everything. Now I’m motivated to reach more and to get better.
Namita Nayyar:
While performing Breakdancing that consists mainly of four kinds of movement—top rock, down rock, power moves, and freezes—and is typically set to songs containing drum breaks, especially in funk, soul, and hip-hop, it’s about finding a balance between showcasing strengths and creating a captivating performance. Elaborate?
Chiara Ceseri:
Dancing breaking is about showing yourself and interpretate the music. It’s about mix all of the elements but it is important to be always on the beat.
Namita Nayyar:
Which event in your breakdancing journey acted as a catalyst in your metriotic rise as a leading Italian Break Dancer?
Chiara Ceseri:
I think that the event that brought attention to me was the European Championship and then the Olympic Qualifiers in Shanghai and Budapest where I placed in 12th position. I went there with no expectations and I placed in good positions. People started to notice me, to know me and my name started to circulate.
Namita Nayyar:
You had a memorable sporting participation with your performance as the winner of 1VS1 B-Girl. Tell us your experience at this breaking competition for women event and what you learned here to move further in your break dancing career.
Chiara Ceseri:
I won many battles around the world, competing against very strong Bgirl gave me a lot of motivation. Of course winning battles gives you more confidence and power and you just want to battle again and again. The hard part is when you lose and you have to get back to work, but I think that this is what helped me the most to improve my dance. When I go to a battle my goal is to win it but having fun, otherwise for me it’s like having lost it.

Chiara Ceseri:
I started dancing in my city with Bboy Led, that helped me a lot with the basics. Then I began to travel and I met many people that gave me different way to work. My current coach is Bboy Never and he is also the coach of my crew. He had always believed in me since the beginning when no-one wanted to dance with me. He pushed me to get better.
For him the most important thing is my professional growth so he agreed with having other people that work with me. For example in this moment I’m working with the Ukrainian Bboy Lussy Sky. It’s important for me to have people that understand my point of view and that they leave me my space but at the same time they are always there.

Chiara Ceseri:
I wake up at 6.30 a.m., I have a light breakfast and I do my skin care routine. I go to school until 2 p.m. and I come back home. Normally I have lunch at school because I have training early in the afternoon but sometime I eat also at home.
I train every day in my home and after that I do my homework. I try to do everything before dinner so that I can spend my evening with my family, boyfriend and friends. I need to organize my day very well because I don’t have many time and the things to do are a lot.

For an athlete is hard to stop training but I learned that is better don’t force it because it can get worse. Fortunately I didn’t have big injuries but I had mononucleosis that forced me to stop for 1 months. At first it was hard but then I tried to find the good in that.
