B-boying or Breaking,
also called Breakdancing, is a style of street dance that originated among
black and spanish kids in New York City during the early 1970s. The dance spread worldwide due to popularity in the media, especially in
regions such as South Korea, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, and
Japan.
While diverse in the amount of variation available in the dance,
b-boying consists of four kinds of movement: toprock, downrock, power moves,
and freezes. B-boying is typically danced to hip-hop and especially breakbeats, although modern trends allow for much wider varieties of music along certain
ranges of tempo and beat patterns.
A practitioner of
this dance is called a b-boy, b-girl, or breaker. Although the term
"breakdance" is frequently used to refer to the dance,
"b-boying" and "breaking" are the original terms. These
terms are preferred by the majority of the pioneers and most notable
practitioners.
