The Roots

Breaking or b-boying, commonly called breakdancing, is a style of dance that evolved as part of hip-hop culture among Black and Latino American youths in the South Bronx during the 1970s. The term bboy came from the term of beat boy, because they danced to a specific beat. It is danced to both hip-hop and other genres of music that are often remixed to prolong the musical breaks.

Four basic elements form the foundation of breaking.

1. Toprock, a term referring to the upright dancing and shuffles.
2. Downrock which refers to footwork dancing performed on the floor.
3. Freeze, the poses that breakers throw into their dance sets to add punctuation to certain __beats and end their routines.
4. element is the Power Moves. These are the most impressive acrobatic moves normally
__made up of circular motions where the dancer will spin on the floor or in the air. The term __breakdancing, though commonly used, is frowned upon by those immersed in hip-hop
__culture because the term created by the media to describe what was called breaking or __b-boying in the street. The majority of the art form’s pioneers and most notable
__practitioners refer to the dance as b-boying.
