“From the soul” – Own label created: Dance queen with a passion for fashion

She has rhythm in her blood: breakdance queen Sinamaria Neugebauer (27) from Innsbruck wants to represent Austria at the Olympic Games in 2024 – maybe in her own fashion label.

Her father is Tyrolean, her mother Moroccan. The reigning state champion in breakdance grew up both in her mother’s home country and in her father’s. “We spent the summers in Austria until I went to school, and the winters in North Africa,” Sina remembers, before her parents decided to live in Innsbruck.

You have to train hard and go to your limits,” beams the Tyrolean. She finally turned her hobby into a job, gives dance lessons and, among other things, was the first Austrian to reach the final of the Red Bull BC One, the largest and most important breakdance competition in the world .Flea market clothes become stylish outfitsAnother passion led to Sinamaria even creating her own clothing label “From the soul” about five years ago. “I like going to flea markets,” says the 27-year-old. And since there weren’t really the right outfits for her performances, the dancer simply created them herself. Together with merchandise items, Neugebauer sells the clothing at various dance events, which are financed with it. Pandemic slowed down sales The corona pandemic slowed down the sale of the individual pieces at the events, but they sold briskly on the Internet. “So far I’ve done everything myself – from sewing to packaging to shipping,” reveals the star of the local breakdance scene, “it was always important to me that everything was made fairly and that the name was one hundred percent authentic.” And who knows, maybe the unusual clothes will even become a real trend after a possible participation in the Olympics in two years.
