B-boying or breaking, commonly referred to as breakdancing, is a style of dance that evolved as part of hip-hop culture among Black and Latino youths in New York City. It is danced to both hip-hop and other genres of music that are often remixed to prolong the musical breaks. One who practices this style of dance is called a b-boy, b-girl, or breaker. Although "breakdance" is a common term, "b-boying" and "breaking" are preferred by the majority of the art form’s pioneers and most notable practitioners.
Breakdancing includes a number of moves and steps, including Toprock (any string of steps performed from a standing position, which may includepopping or locking);Downrock (also known as "footwork" or "floorwork"); Power Moves (actions that require momentum and physical power to execute, such as the windmill or head spin); and Freezes (stylish poses). It has been stated that breaking replaced fighting between street gangs.On the contrary, some believe it a misconception that b-boying ever played a part in mediating gang rivalry. Battles are dance competitions between two individuals or two groups of dancers. The musical selection for breaking is not restricted to hip-hop music, as long as the tempo and beat pattern.
