Breakdance

Breakdance, also known as b-boying, is a dynamic dance style that originated in the 1970s in New York City. It combines athletic and expressive movements such as spins, slides, and acrobatic tricks, often performed to hip-hop music. Dancers, called breakdancers or b-boys and b-girls, showcase their skill through freestyle improvisation and choreographed routines. The style emphasizes creativity, agility, and rhythm, with elements like toprock, downrock, power moves, and freezes. Breakdance has grown globally, influencing contemporary dance and hip-hop culture, and is recognized for its energetic, improvisational spirit and intricate physical movements.
