Breakdancing, Community & the Olympics with Thomas DeCastro

This week on the Team Lally Real Estate Radio Show, we interview Thomas Decastro, founder of Breaks R4 Kidz. Thomas shares the meaning behind his name, the story behind dancers’ unique identities, and why he's committed to learning from everyone. He gives us the scoop on their practice sessions, auditions, and upcoming events, including Olympic aspirations and the evolving breakdancing scene. From Kamehameha to local elementary schools, Thomas is building community through dance—and Adrienne shares how her own kids have been inspired by it. 

We also have our Expert We Trust. Mari Eagar of Hawaii Pacific Property Management shares why allowing pets in rentals can expand your tenant pool—and how to protect your property while doing it.
