Think you can dance better than Raygun? Do your best and win some cash

Think you can dance better than Raygun? Do your best and win some cash

The Australian breakdancer, who bombed at this year's Olympics, is dusting herself off and challenging dancers worldwide.

Think you can breakdance better than Raygun? Well, here’s your chance.

Rachael “Raygun” Gunn, the Australian breakdancer who almost single-handedly broke the internet this past summer, is challenging anyone who thinks they can dance better than her to prove it in a new competition — and the winners have a shot at some serious moolah.

Raygun was suddenly thrust into (not-so-kind) viral fame after her cringe-worthy performance in Paris over the summer, when she took to the floor during the sport’s Olympic debut and showcased an unusual routine, featuring kangaroo jumps, sliding around on the stage like a snake and doing the sprinkler.

She didn’t quite finish last at the Olympics (someone else was disqualified) but she failed to score any points across her Olympic battles against competitors from France, Lithuania and the U.S., losing each battle 18-0.

Her performance led to instant online chaos, birthing thousands of memes and subjecting her to international ridicule — a “pretty devastating” reaction, she previously said.

It appears, however, the dancer is determined to dust herself off and is now encouraging dancers who think they can top her Olympics performance to submit a video on social media.

Teaming up with price comparison website Finder, the 37-year-old has launched the “Raygun Challenge,” where groups of two dancers who share a video of their original choreography will get a shot at AUD$10,000 (C$9,124), while solo dancers are eligible to win AUD$5,000 (C$4,577.)

“I’ve heard some of you think you can do better than me,” she said in an Instagram video announcing the competition, showing off some of her familiar moves. “Really? Let’s find out, shall we?”
