Break Dance
Break dance is a street dance style that evolved as part of the hip hop movement that originated among African American youths in New York City in early 1970s. B-boying was a positive way for the youth to express them self through music instead of violence. The dance consists of Toprocks- the upright dance form, 2nd Footwork – the dance on the floor, 3rd Power moves- the dynamic movement, and the finally The freeze. B-boying is not just a dance it is also a culture and a lifestyle that is very important to the elements of real Hip Hop.
Since its inception, break dancing has provided a youth culture constructive alternative to violent urban street gangs. Today, break dancing culture is a remarkable discipline somewhere in-between those of dancers and athletes. Since acceptance and involvement centers on dance skills, break dancing culture is usally free of the common race, gender and age boundaries of a subculture and has been accepted worldwide.
